This contract, under the competitive flexible procedure, was awarded to Hafod Housing Association Ltd, valued at £14.4 million. The project falls within the services industry category, with specific emphasis on site development work, architectural design, and social services building construction. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract expected to begin on 31st July 2026, lasting approximately 35 years, with potential extension options.

The long-term engagement offered through the 45-year potential contract period is ideal for businesses that are capable of long-term project management and operation of facilities oriented towards social value and community services.

Notice Title

A Development Agreement for the development and management of a supported living accommodation and day centre

Notice Description

The Council is undertaking a competitive flexible procurement procedure to appoint a Supplier to enter into a Development Agreement with the Council.The Supplier (Development Partner) will design, apply and secure planning permission for, construct, deliver and manage a supported living accommodation and a learning disability day centre at the former Garth Olwg Residential Care Home site, Main Road, Church Village, Pontypridd CF38 2DX. It is anticipated that the development partner will secure relevant Welsh Government grant funding for the project. Dependent on the amount of funding secured the Council may be required to make a financial contribution as a top up. The contract value in this notice has been based on the estimated full build cost and the Council does not anticipate paying this value.A service level agreement will be established between the Local Authority and the chosen development partner once the facility is operational for the management of the relevant services including ongoing service charges and costs. The length of the service level agreement is to be determined but is anticipated to be around a 40 year period. The service charges and costs may be negotiated as part of the tender procedure. Therefore the estimated cost provided for in this notice is based purely on an estimation of the void space over a 40 year period. The competitive flexible procedure allows the Council to carry out the tender in multiple stages, although the Council reserves the right to award the contract based on initial tenders.
