Lot Information
Lot 1
The council has an ambitious forward workload of new-build school projects within Welsh Government's Sustainable Communities for Learning Programme, including new primary and secondary schools. The first of these is a new primary school in Brecon, with a GIFA of approximately 2,500m2, where a concept design is nearing completion. The Council is currently considering how to achieve best value in the procurement of this school, and it is anticipated that lessons learnt will be applied across the wider programme. In particular, it wishes to explore opportunities to increase efficiency via the adoption of MMC. The Council is inviting potential contractors experienced in leading and delivering whole-school MMC projects to contact the Council for a short, individual meeting in advance of the formal procurement process. These meetings are intended to help the Council understand the following with regard to major capital school projects of this nature: (a) the market's ability to deliver using MMC and the expected benefits; (b) the market's current approach to delivering low energy and carbon in use; (c) the market's potential to achieve tangible social value benefits and; (d) any other risks or issues that could affect the successful delivery of the Council's projects using MMC that might need to be taken into account when preparing the procurement. Contractors who wish to engage with the Council prior to publication of a tender are invited to contact the Council at the e-mail address in section I.1 above by no later than 5pm on 21st February 2025. Subject to capacity constraints, the Council plans to hold individual meetings (each of up to an hour long) with contractors who respond within the above specified timescale (meeting dates and times to be arranged). Such meetings will be held on an individual basis via Microsoft Teams. Non-participation in this market engagement process does not preclude any potential main contractors from participating in the formal procurement process.
