WEPCO, a partnership between the Development Bank of Wales and Meridiam, is seeking to procure a Design & Build Contractor to deliver the Cardiff and Vale College (CaVC) Project on behalf of the Project Co established for the project. This is the first College project being developed under the MIM model, with an overall pipeline of 35 new schools and colleges (primarily new buildings, but some on existing premises) throughout Wales.
The project is to provide two new Further Education campuses, whilst there will be some 14 - 16 year old learners, nearly all learners will be post 16 with a significant number of adults, employed learners including apprentices and businesses.
The campuses will also provide facilities for the community and local businesses on the following two separate sites;
• (1) Advanced Technology Centre, Rhoose at Cardiff Airport
• (2) Barry Waterfront Campus.
These sites will cater for around 1,500 and 1,800 learners (a mix of full and part time delivery including evenings and weekends) respectively. The new facilities will provide a mixture of traditional academic and vocational places, over a range of subjects as well as facilities for the community and local businesses. The College requires both new facilities (Advanced Technology Centre and Barry Waterfront Campus) to be occupied at the same time.
Programme – the deadline for the facilities to be fully operational is September 2026.
Tender Process Overview and deadlines:
The tender will be run in a 2 stage process, with the initial SQ stage shortlisting prospective bidders who will be invited to participate in the Invitation to Tender stage.
The evaluation at the tender stage will require the submission of full method statements and a written response to the tender requirements. The scoring will be on the basis of a value for money assessment (using the criteria and methodology set out within the Invitation to Tender documents), with a focus on quality, deliverability and experience in delivering similar projects and the benefits of early contractor engagement.
Although WEPCo is not a contracting authority, in the interests of transparency, it will be using a tendering procedure similar to the competitive dialogue procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR15"). WEPCo is not however bound by PCR15 and nothing in this document or any of the tender documents is to be taken as an acceptance or a representation that WEPCo is subject to PCR15. WEPCo reserves the right to amend the tender process (including the criteria) at any stage by giving notice to the bidders.
