Summary of the contracting process

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is seeking an options appraisal for the Old Town Hall, now known as Redhouse, in Merthyr Tydfil town centre. The commission is to assess options for the building and create an evidence base to inform future investment decisions, funding applications and business planning. Its purpose is to help ensure the asset contributes to the wider regeneration ambitions for the town centre. This is a consultancy service combining research and development with cultural and recreational asset planning. Delivery is in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 November 2026 to 5 March 2027. The estimated value is £25,000 excluding VAT (£30,000 including VAT). Suppliers could submit clarification enquiries until 20 October 2026 at 17:00, and the bid deadline set by the buyer was 23 October 2026 at 12:00. There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on quality, weighted at 90%, and price, weighted at 10%.

The requirement suits consultancy firms with experience delivering options appraisals for historic, cultural or civic buildings, particularly where the work informs investment planning, funding applications and regeneration. Suppliers should be able to develop a robust evidence base and assess viable options for an important town-centre asset. The council describes the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it may be relevant to specialist or locally rooted practices as well as larger consultancies. The strong emphasis on quality means firms should be prepared to demonstrate the strength of their appraisal approach and relevant experience, alongside a competitive price.
