In plain English

Welsh Water (Dwr Cymru) is looking for contractors to handle small repair and maintenance jobs across Wales. They want to set up a framework where they can call on suppliers for building, civil, mechanical and electrical works, with individual jobs capped at £20,000 each.

What the buyer wants

• Provide low-value maintenance, repair and improvement works in one of four specialist areas: building maintenance, civil works, mechanical works, or electrical works • Cover either North Wales or South Wales (or both) • Be ready to handle both planned maintenance and emergency reactive work across Welsh Water's buildings and infrastructure

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most one-person traders will struggle because Welsh Water typically demands high insurance levels, formal health and safety policies, and the ability to respond quickly to reactive emergencies across a large geographical area. The framework commitment, even if low-value per job, requires serious operational infrastructure.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
