Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council has awarded a contract for the design, supply, and construction of a new children's playground at the Old Bus Station. This contract falls within the construction industry category and includes various civil engineering tasks such as groundworks, fencing, and drainage. The procurement process followed limited competition, as it was below threshold, and the contract has been signed, with work commencing on the 23rd of March 2026 and concluding by the 4th of May 2026. The project is carried out under Welsh devolved regulations and aligns with legal standards specified in UKPGA 2023/54.
