Published requirement description

Swansea Council is establishing a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for associated works relating to the replacement of cavity wall ties and cavity wall insulation extraction across the Council’s housing stock and public buildings.

The Framework will be divided into two (2) separate lots;

Lot 1 – Capital Planned Works Comprising of EWI Schemes with Multiple Properties per project

Lot 2 - Reactive Works Comprising of One-Off Properties

The Framework provides a structured and compliant delivery mechanism that supports the Council’s strategic objectives for improving indoor air quality, reducing condensation and damp, enhancing resident wellbeing, and ensuring long-term building performance. This Framework will enable the Council to deliver safe and compliant solutions consistently across a diverse range of property types, including houses, low-rise and high-rise flats, sheltered accommodation, communal blocks, civic buildings, operational depots, and community facilities. It also supports the Council’s broader commitments around energy efficiency, resident safety, and compliance with Welsh Housing Quality Standards (WHQS), building regulations, and damp and mould action plans.

  • No preliminary market engagement: As per section 17(1)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023, The Council has utilised its subject matter experts knowledge to identify the preferred and most relevant approach to the market given the requirements of this particular procurement activity.

CPV: Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) · Construction work

  • Price : Pricing Schedule & Compensation Event - 70%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework Agreement for Cavity Wall Tie Replacement and Cavity Wall…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
