settlement sites, Roman forts and towns, ruins of medieval castles and
abbeys, Renaissance houses and chapels to industrial complexes (see
www.cadw.wales.gov.uk). They range in size from a single standing stone to
Caernarfon Castle.
Cadw is seeking to appoint one or more civil and structural engineering
consultancies on a term contract of 2 years with an optional one-year
extension. Consultants should be located to offer a cost-effective service
across Wales. Three areas of work will fall under the term contract:

repairs to historic masonry, timber framing and earthworks using
traditional and modern techniques.
2. Development Work
Consultants will have to be able to advise on and design sensitive
structural solutions for new work within or in close proximity to the
monuments and their protected archaeology. This can include the repair,
adaptation or construction of a range of visitor facilities, the provision
of vehicular and pedestrian access, safety works, drainage and water
management.
3. Advice
On occasions, Cadw may require engineering advice related to consent and
grant applications from external applicants.
In addition to these core engineering functions, it would be advantageous
if consultancies can offer project management and CDM co-ordinating roles
as part of their services.
In submitting their Expressions of Interest, consultancies should give
details of at least 3 recent projects, which demonstrate the range of
skills required by Cadw. They should identify and provide a curriculum
vitae for the associate or director who will be Cadw’s main point of
contact. They should identify from which office/s they would run this
contract and the full range of skills available in that office/s.
The tender list will be selected on the basis of the experience
demonstrated by each consultancy of working at nationally-important

the range of services offered. At tender stage, selected consultancies
will be asked to submit their schedule of rates.
