Summary of the contracting process

Powys County Council is in the planning stage for a public procurement process titled "Development of New Build Council Housing at Churchstoke, Powys, Mid Wales". The project concerns the construction of 38 new council homes including a variety of bungalows and houses, designed to meet specific quality and environmental standards. Situated in Churchstoke within Powys, the procurement falls under the "works" industry category, with an estimated contract value of £1,137,300. The process is currently focused on market engagement, with an online presentation scheduled on 12th August 2026. The tender is expected to be issued as a design and build contract in accordance with JCT Design and Build Contract 2024 standards, and it will utilise a Project Bank Account for payment facilitation. Prospective bidders are invited to participate in market engagement, but this is not mandatory for future participation in the tendering process.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for construction businesses specialised in residential projects, particularly those capable of adhering to stringent housing quality and sustainability standards like the Welsh Development Quality Requirements 2021. The tender is well-suited to SMEs due to its structured and transparent payment method through a Project Bank Account. The greenfield project, which is expected to start on 1st April 2027, is strategically significant for businesses aiming to establish or expand their footprint in Mid Wales. Firms with experience in council and social housing developments will find this project aligns with their expertise, making them ideal candidates to bid on this contract.
