Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd is procuring architectural consultancy services for a feasibility study on residential development land at Cae Penarlâg, Dolgellau, Gwynedd, LL40 2YB. The study will assess whether the site can support mixed housing, including social housing and age-restricted bungalows, as part of the Tŷ Gwynedd Project, an Extra Care Facility, or a combination of both. The requirement covers architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Delivery is in Dolgellau, Gwynedd. The opportunity is therefore relevant to architectural practices and multidisciplinary built-environment consultancies able to assess residential development options and consider both conventional housing and care-related accommodation. Cyngor Gwynedd is the contracting authority and buyer for this single service requirement.

The process reached tender: Cyngor Gwynedd invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 10 August 2026 at 14:00, and bids were due by 13 August 2026 at 14:00. The contract period is 7 September 2026 to 23 November 2026. The estimated value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is split equally between price and quality, with each weighted at 50%. Relevant experience is a selection requirement. Electronic submission is allowed through the eTender Wales procurement portal, and an electronic auction is part of the procedure. The procurement is governed by Welsh devolved regulations and is below the applicable threshold.

This requirement suits a suitably qualified and experienced architectural consultant, or a multidisciplinary practice with the expertise to test the feasibility of residential development options. Relevant experience is required, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate comparable work assessing sites, housing schemes or care-related developments. The brief calls for the ability to consider mixed housing that may include social homes, age-restricted bungalows and an Extra Care Facility, either as separate options or in combination. Strong architectural analysis should be supported by the capacity to address development viability and the interaction between buildings, site constraints and intended use. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. A balanced price-and-quality evaluation means both technical capability and a competitive commercial approach matter.
