The total value of the contract is 8.14 million GBP, including significant cost increases and an extended timeline due to additional essential works.

Notice Title

Caerphilly Castle Regeneration Main Works

Notice Description

The award of the contract for the main regeneration works at Caerphilly Castle following the publication of a Voluntary ex-ante Transparency Notice ref 2022/S 000-036684.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a contract award notice following the publication of a Voluntary ex-ante Transparency Notice ref 2022/S 000-036684 published on 29/12/2022. Cadw is the Welsh Government's historic environment service working for an accessible and well-protected historic environment for Wales. Cadw sought to appoint a suitably accredited and experienced Principal Contractor to undertake pre-construction services and the construction works for the regeneration programme at Caerphilly Castle through the Early Contractor Involvement route. The original scope of works were to include a new build visitor centre, cafe and w/c, refurbishment of the existing shop, refurbishment and remodelling of the Great Hall and Interpretation works throughout the castle. Eight additional packages of work will now be awarded which were identified as required, in order to deliver the original scope of works. These eight packages of work are noted within section IV of this notice. Additional information: The original opportunity and award notice was published at a local level through Sell2Wales as the contract was below the FTS threshold. The additional eight packages of work required meant the total value was above threshold and was why the previous Voluntary ex-ante Transparency Notice was published.

Procurement Information

As noted in the published Voluntary ex-ante Transparency Notice ref 2022/S 000-036684, the principle of an ECI appointment was to allow Cadw to ensure the affordability and buildability of the proposed design from RIBA stages 1 to 4. During the initial stages it became apparent that additional essential works were required in order for the three main packages to be delivered. These eight additional packages will cover: a new terrace area to the cafe and balustrade railings; access works to enable visitors to view the new interpretation; new wi-fi installations; refurbishment of the old visitor centre; refurbishment and strengthening of 3 access bridges; a new rest/wild garden area; creation of an accessible "play for all" play area; and conservation works to the water gate to allow a viewing platform. These eight additional packages of work were not anticipated at the original award and were only identified as required as part of the detailed design development.
