Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd is inviting tenders for a development feasibility study of Cae Penarlâg in Dolgellau, Gwynedd. This procurement process, classified under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category, is currently in the tender stage. The expected value of the contract is up to £30,000. The goal is to assess the viability of developing the site for mixed housing units, including social housing and age-restricted bungalows, as part of the Tŷ Gwynedd Project, or potentially an Extra Care Facility. The tender process is open competition, and submissions must be sent electronically via the specified online platform before 14:00 on 13th August 2026.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for suitably qualified architectural consultants looking to expand their reach within the public sector in the United Kingdom, particularly in projects linked to housing development. Architectural firms with experience in residential development and consultancy, especially those familiar with integrated social housing and care facilities, will find this a suitable project to pursue. SMEs are expressly encouraged to apply, providing an incentive for smaller businesses to engage and compete, potentially facilitating significant business growth and new client acquisition. The project could serve as a valuable case study in sustainable and integrative residential planning in Wales.
