Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales procured construction of the Dynamic Skills House, a new two-storey training facility at Rhewl Range. The requirement is for a building contractor to deliver works associated with a law and emergency-services building. The work is to be carried out in North Wales. This is a public-sector construction opportunity rather than a supply or consultancy contract, and would suit contractors with experience of delivering new-build training, operational or other specialist public buildings. The buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales, whose operational context is policing and emergency services. The requirement covers one construction package, with the contractor responsible for delivering the building works described in the tender documentation, including the technical specifications, drawing pack and bill of quantities.

The procurement is complete and has reached award stage. It used an above-threshold open procedure, with eight bids received. The estimated value was £1,500,000 excluding VAT (£1,800,000 including VAT). LEIGHS PROPERTY SERVICES (NORTH WEST) LTD was selected for the single package, with an awarded value of £1,370,267.23 including VAT. The award date was 7 September 2026, and the standstill period ends on 21 September 2026. The awarded contract period is from 2 November 2026 to 2 November 2028. Evaluation placed 80% on pricing and 20% on quality, assessed through a method statement. The tender was identified as suitable for SMEs. The planned contract signature date is 29 September 2026.

This award shows demand from North Wales Police for a substantial, specialist public-sector new-build facility, delivered through an open competition rather than a restricted supplier arrangement. A credible future competitor would need to be an established building contractor able to manage a complete two-storey construction project, interpret technical specifications and drawings, and price works through a bill of quantities. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing was the dominant consideration, while the method statement carried significant weight, so suppliers would need both cost control and a clear, convincing delivery methodology. Experience of construction for policing, emergency services, public authorities or other operational environments would help demonstrate understanding of the setting. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a capable regional contractor or specialist SME could compete, either independently or with appropriate delivery partners.
