Summary of the contracting process

Conwy County Borough Council commissioned a multidisciplinary design team to lead the Ysgol Eirias development in Colwyn Bay. The work concerns replacing Block A, part of which has been mothballed, and includes any demolition needed. The school campus comprises four principal multi-storey buildings, with ancillary single-storey modular buildings to the north. The required service combines architectural, engineering and construction-related design work with quantity surveying. Delivery is at Ysgol Eirias in Colwyn Bay, Conwy. The appointed consultant is expected to lead the scheme and support its implementation in line with the council’s strategic objectives and stakeholder expectations.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to TACP Architects Ltd. The award was made on 8 October 2026, at £425,480 excluding VAT (£510,576 including VAT). The award records a contract period from 3 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. This was a single-lot, open procedure. The tender’s estimated value was £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). Price carried 40% of the evaluation and quality 60%. Economic and technical selection criteria applied, with details set out in the tender pack. The tender closed on 23 July 2026; clarification questions were due by 9 July 2026. Seven bids were received, all from SMEs.

For future work of this kind for Conwy County Borough Council, a credible competitor would need to bring a coordinated multidisciplinary design capability covering architecture, engineering and quantity surveying. The requirement is for a team able to lead the replacement of a major school building and address associated demolition, while working within an existing, multi-building campus. Strong delivery planning and the ability to coordinate design with the practical constraints of an operating school development would be commercially relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The selection included both economic and technical criteria, while quality carried greater weight than price in evaluation; suppliers therefore need to demonstrate the strength and reliability of their proposed service as well as competitive pricing. The seven bids, all from SMEs, show that smaller firms competed for this project.
