South West Wales Regional Civil Engineering Contractors Framework 2027

Carmarthenshire County Council in association with Ceredigion County Council, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Pembrokeshire County Council and Swansea Council intends to establish a new iteration of this Framework by appointing suitably qualified Contractors for the delivery of civil engineering related construction projects and other works across the region. The Framework will include value-banded and geographical/regional lots for Civil Engineering Works (e.g. Very Small, Small, Medium and Large Civils Work) as well as lots for Specialist Civils Work (e.g. Demolition, Public Lighting, Lining & Road Marking, Surfacing, Ground Investigations, Marine Works, Traffic Management, Bridge Maintenance, Landscaping).

An initial framework information document is attached to assist interested parties in preparing to bid. However, at this stage, the lotting structure is still under development and may be subject to change.

Final framework and lot details will be outlined in the published tender documentation. Please note that this UK3 Planned Procurement Notice supersedes the UK 1 Pipeline Notice (MAY514005) published on 19th May 2025.

The Framework will include value-banded and geographical lots for Civil Engineering Works (e.g. Very Small Civils Work 0 - 75,000 GBP and Small Civils Work 0 - 750,000 GBP). Please see the Framework Information presentation attached to this Notice for more details of the types of works required in these lots.

Please note that the figure for the estimated spend in these lots, is the anticipated total value of the Framework as a whole, over 4 years. As this is a framework arrangement, the values of potential spend for each individual lot cannot be specified.

Please also note that at this stage, the lotting structure is still under development and may be subject to change. Final lot details will be outlined in the published tender documentation.

The Framework will include regional value-banded lots for Civil Engineering Works (e.g. Medium Civils Work 750,000 - 3,000,000 GBP and Large Civils Work 3,000,000+ GBP). The Region may commission ancillary construction works as part of a large civil engineering scheme awarded under these lots, should these be required to as part of the main scheme.
