South East Wales Technical and Professional Services (2) Framework (SEWTAPS2)

Cardiff Council is procuring the next iteration of the South East Wales led Technical and Professional Services (SEWTAPS) Framework to succeed the current arrangement upon its expiry in April 2027. Building on the framework's established success since 2021, SEWTAPS will continue to provide public sector organisations across the UK with a compliant, efficient and flexible route to access high-quality technical and professional construction-related consultancy services. The new framework will retain the flexibility and collaborative approach that have been central to SEWTAPS' success, supporting early consultant engagement, proportionate procurement processes and improved project outcomes.

It will enable customers to deliver infrastructure, property, environmental and community projects while embedding social value, sustainability and continuous improvement principles. Cardiff Council aims to establish a resilient and future-focused framework capable of responding to evolving customer needs, market developments and emerging challenges. Appointed suppliers will be expected to provide the expertise, capacity and innovation required to support the successful delivery of public sector projects and sustainable outcomes throughout the framework term.
