Summary of the contracting process

ateb Housing Group Ltd is procuring employer’s agent services for a 22-unit housing development in Cynwyl Elfed, Carmarthenshire. The requirement covers architectural, construction, engineering and inspection consultancy associated with the development. The buyer intends to appoint one consultant to provide the employer’s agent role throughout the project. The work is directly linked to the development and is intended for a consultant able to manage the client-side responsibilities associated with delivering a housing scheme. Delivery is in Carmarthenshire, with the buyer based in Haverfordwest. This is a services opportunity for employer’s agents and construction consultants with relevant housing development capability, rather than a contract for construction works or the supply of materials.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 16 October 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 31 August 2028, with an option to renew for a further 12 months, giving a maximum extent to 31 August 2029. The estimated value is £56,000 excluding VAT, or £70,000 including VAT. Price accounts for 40% of the evaluation and quality for 60%. The selection requirement is set out in the tender documentation, and electronic submission is allowed.

This opportunity suits an experienced employer’s agent or construction consultancy that can provide a single lead consultant for a housing development. Specific experience in employer’s agent services is required, together with experience in the housing association sector. Firms should be able to demonstrate the professional capability to advise and represent the client through the delivery of a 22-unit development, coordinating the architectural, construction, engineering and inspection aspects covered by the requirement. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may suit a specialist practice with the relevant housing-sector track record and sufficient capacity to commit one experienced consultant for the project and any extension.
