In plain English
Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is setting up a framework, which is a pre-approved list of contractors that councils can call on for work over several years. It covers road and bridge work on the Strategic Road Network in South Wales from 2027, with an estimated total value of £405 million. The framework has two lots: Lot 1 covers highways and structures such as bridges, tunnels, fencing and lighting, and Lot 2 covers road surfacing, drainage, kerbing, footways and road markings.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver civil and structural engineering works across the Strategic Road Network in South Wales (Lot 1: Highways & Structures), including carriageway maintenance, structural renewals, bridge strengthening, tunnel works, and lighting and communications schemes. • Deliver surfacing and ancillary works across the same network (Lot 2: Surfacing & Ancillary Works), including pavement surfacing, emergency pavement works, drainage, kerbing, footways and road markings. • Carry out traffic management and site clearance as part of the works, and structures condition inspections and monitoring under Lot 1.
Lots
- Highway & Structures
- Surfacing & Ancillary Works
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualification or financial requirements, but its scale (£405 million across two lots) and the demand for structural engineering and tunnel and bridge work on a strategic road network would most likely rule out smaller firms without the capacity and track record to deliver large, complex highway projects.
Always check the tender documents.
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.
