SWTRA Consultancy Services Framework 2027

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council · Local authority

In brief

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council has announced plans to buy architecture and engineering work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £87,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, up to 6 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 18 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £87,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council / South Wales Trunk Road Agent (SWTRA) will be inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced organisations to undertake highways engineering consultancy services across the South Wales Trunk Road network and is intending to appoint a number of Suppliers to the Framework based on a multiple Lotting structure.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
