Powys County Council is preparing to tender for the construction of new build council housing at Ael-y-Bryn, Ystradgynlais, in Powys. The project will deliver x16 walk-up flats on the site of four current blocks of flats originally built in the 1970s. The project will include demolition of the four blocks.
Designs have been progressed to RIBA Stage 3A and have secured full planning permission, subject to conditions. The Council anticipates that these conditions will be fully discharged prior to the award of contract.
The scheme has been designed to meet Welsh Development Quality Requirements 2021 (WDQR 2021), Secured by Design Gold, and Lifetime Homes, and to meet EPC A rating.
The Council is currently proposing to tender the project as a design and build contract, using the JCT Design and Build Contract 2016 with a Schedule of Amendments.
This project is phase one of an anticipated wider programme to redevelop designated areas of the Pen-y-Bryn estate. Future phases of the programme will be subject to procurement and will not form part of this procurement exercise.
The Council is inviting contractors experienced in delivery of council/social housing projects to contact the Council for a short individual meeting in advance of the formal procurement process. These meetings are intended to help the Council understand the following with regard to this project:
(a) the market's expectations in respect of design detail to be provided;
(b) the market's expectations in respect of site information (e.g., ground investigation reports);
(c) the market's expectations in respect of risk allocation; and
(d) any other risks or issues that could affect successful delivery of the Ael-y-Bryn project that might need to be taken into account when preparing the procurement.
Contractor's who wish to engage with the Council prior to publication of a tender are invited to contact the Council at the email address in section 1.1 above by no later than 5pm on Friday 23rd February 2024.
The Council is proposing to hold individual meetings (up to an hour long) with interested contractors who respond within the above specified timescale. It is anticipated that those meetings will be held on either week commencing 26th February or 4th March. Contractors will have the option of meeting with the Council either virtually via Microsoft Teams, or in-person in Ystradgynlais (venue to be confirmed) Contractors should state the preference for either a virtual or in-person meeting.
Non-participation in this market engagement process does not preclude any potential contractors from participating in the formal procurement process. |
