## Summary

Powys County Council has awarded the contract for the "Development of New Build Council Housing at Ael-Y-Bryn, Ystradgynlais, Powys, Mid Wales" to Morganstone Ltd. This procurement process focused on the construction of 14 walk-up flats on a brownfield site in Ystradgynlais, designed to meet high-quality standards and efficiency ratings. The project, valued at approximately £3.1 million, was conducted as an open competition under the 'below threshold' category. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract award finalised on 8th May 2026. Construction is scheduled to commence on 15th June 2026, with an expected completion date of 17th September 2027.

This contract provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses involved in construction, housing development, and sustainable building solutions. As the project adheres to stringent Welsh Development Quality Requirements, companies with expertise in environmental sustainability and high-efficiency standards will be particularly competitive. Additionally, opportunities for subcontractors may arise, especially for SMEs, reinforcing the importance of engaging with project management and supply chain opportunities within the Powys County Council's development initiatives. This project not only promises business growth for construction firms but also contributes to the local community's housing needs.
