Summary of the contracting process

Bridgend County Borough Council commissioned consultancy services for a feasibility study at Newbridge Fields in Bridgend. The study was intended to develop options for a new dual-use pavilion around the existing pavilions used by Bridgend Athletics Club and Bridgend Sports RFC, including “The Bandstand”. The requirement concerns early-stage planning and options development for community and sports facilities rather than construction works or building operation. The buying organisation is a Welsh local authority, and the work relates to Newbridge Fields in Bridgend. The procurement was classified under CPV 98000000, covering other community, social and personal services. The requirement is therefore relevant to planning, development and feasibility consultancies able to assess shared-use community and sporting facilities and produce practical development options for a public-sector client.

This was a completed, below-threshold procurement for one lot. Bridgend County Borough Council selected Planning Solutions Consulting Limited, an SME, and awarded the contract on an active award basis. The contract was signed on 21 August 2025, ran from 26 August 2025 to 31 March 2026, and was valued at £29,000 excluding VAT (£34,800 including VAT). The contract was terminated, with the recorded rationale that it was completed; implementation ended on 10 February 2026 and the final value was £29,000 excluding VAT (£34,800 including VAT). The procurement used a below-threshold route, with the published method details recorded as unknown. The requirement was evaluated as a feasibility-study consultancy service, with the contract covering the development of options for the proposed dual-use pavilion.

Although this contract has ended, it demonstrates demand from Bridgend County Borough Council for specialist consultancy to shape investment in shared community and sports facilities. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement of this type would combine feasibility-study expertise with planning and development advice, and be able to turn an existing-site assessment into clear, deliverable options. Relevant experience would include working with public-sector clients, community organisations and sports clubs, particularly where facilities have to serve more than one user group. A strong competitor would also understand how to assess the practical opportunities and constraints around existing pavilions, formulate development choices and communicate findings in a way that supports a council’s later decisions on funding, design and delivery. The awarded supplier’s SME status indicates that a focused specialist consultancy can undertake this scale of commission.
