What is being bought

Published requirement description

The contract comprises five core interlinked phases of work across the South and West elevations, alongside localised internal remediation:

• Asbestos Remediation: The safe, licensed containment, removal, and disposal of identified asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), specifically focusing on the external window mastic and internal packing panels.

• Window Replacement: De-glazing, removal, and lawful disposal of degraded window units, followed by the installation of high-performance, thermally broken, double-glazed aluminium units matching original architectural sightlines.

• Structural Concrete Repairs: Mechanical breakout of defective cladding panels to a sound core, preparation and priming of exposed reinforcement steel, and profiling using a structural polymer-modified mortar system.

• Anti-Carbonation Protective Coating: Application of a breathable, anti-carbonation surface treatment across the repaired external concrete cladding panels to ensure long-term structural integrity and aesthetic consistency.

• Minor Internal Making Good: Plasterwork repairs, drywall stabilization, and complete redecoration of internal window reveals, sills, and adjacent walls impacted by the window extraction.

Roof works and other special trade construction works (CPV 4526) in Wales (Cymru) — and who usually turns up

Cyson Cymru has too little published record in this market to describe on its own; the Wales (Cymru) market stands beside whatever it has. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: sector page →

How the contest usually goes

Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested contracts only — direct awards report one bid by definition and are left out. Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Method and what to read with care
  • Two columns, no blending. The authority column walks its own record only: notices in the 4-digit class, then the 2-digit division, then all categories (36 months, per lot, contested only), and as a last resort its 24-month row across all categories (per notice, every route). The market column is the notice’s primary delivery ITL1 × the same class, then division (36 months). Nothing is filled from the UK-wide class; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable.
  • Per lot, contested only. Find a Tender publishes bid counts per lot; a seven-lot tender is seven contests. Procedures awarded without competition (limited / direct) are excluded from bids, price pairs and decision days — they report one bid by definition. Frameworks and DPS are a separate population from contracts (6–7 bids per lot against 2–4) and only the notice’s own kind is shown.
  • Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). Award-vs-estimate pairs need a lot estimate, one active award on the lot, one canonical supplier and a gap under 60 %; about 30 % of pairs are exact matches (the buyer published the award at the estimate). n is on every figure; below 3 the tile is muted, never hidden.
  • Pounds. The expected award applies the authority’s median movement (or the region’s, when the authority has fewer than 3 pairs) to this notice’s estimate; the middle half uses the region’s quartiles. A multi-lot notice publishes an envelope, so the movement is applied per lot, never to the total. A benchmark, not a recommended price.
  • “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
