Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council aimed to secure a qualified consultant for design feasibility studies for future site development in Llandysul. The tender, titled "Ceredigion - Llandysul - Design Feasibility Studies for Future Site Development," falls under the architectural and related services industry, encompassing pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. This open competition procurement, valued at £28,000 net, was open for submissions until 13th October 2025, with the contract period scheduled from 17th November 2025 to 31st January 2026. Unfortunately, the process was completed without a contract being awarded due to no compliant bids being received, leading to the cancellation notice dated 26th January 2026.

This tender represented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in architectural, planning, and engineering consultancy, particularly those with experience in feasibility studies and stakeholder engagement. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would have been well-suited to compete for this project, given the focus on exploring diverse development possibilities and assessing site viability. Although the current process did not result in a contract, future opportunities may still arise for consulting firms capable of providing comprehensive design-led insights to support developmental strategies for the county council.

Notice Title

Ceredigion - Llandysul - Design Feasibility Studies for Future Site Development

Notice Description

Ceredigion County Council is seeking to procure the services of a qualified and experienced consultant to provide design-led feasibility studies for two existing sites. While neither site is currently associated with a live development project, the studies are intended to inform the Council's decision-making regarding the potential for future development. The appointed consultant will be required to explore and assess a range of potential uses for each site, considering planning, design, economic viability, and community impact. The outcome of this work will support the Council in determining whether future projects on these sites are feasible, and if so, what form those projects might take. This commission will include site analysis, stakeholder engagement (as required), high-level concept design options, and reporting to support internal review and decision-making processes.
