The procurement process was set in the industry category of construction consultancy and management services, located in Port Talbot, United Kingdom, under the Welsh devolved regulations. Initially active, the tender, identified by CPU25-26-13, followed an open procurement method allowing electronic submissions via the eTender Wales portal. The tender was planned as part of a larger project running until December 2027, with key dates including a tender submission deadline on 23 February 2026 and an award period closing on 30 March 2026. However, the tender was eventually cancelled on 23 April 2026 upon reassessment of professional indemnity insurance and liability requirements. This tender process could have provided significant growth opportunities for businesses skilled in construction project management consultancy services. Companies experienced in managing large-scale heritage projects would have been well-suited to participate, given the emphasis on expertise through method statements and economic and technical criteria outlined in the Invitation to Tender (ITT). Despite its cancellation, such tenders, particularly those involving prestigious projects like Margam Castle, highlight the potential for establishing long-term business relationships with public authorities. SMEs also have labelled suitability in such tenders, indicating an inclusive approach to supplier engagement, promising visibility and business expansion opportunities within the public sector procurement landscape. ## Notice Following a successful Round 1 application to The National Lottery Heritage Fund, funding has been secured for the 'Development' phase of Reimagining Margam Castle. This project runs until December 2027. Funding has been granted for specialist consultancies and resources to develop a Round 2 application to The National Lottery Heritage Fund, if successful this will unlock the full grant. Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council invites Tenders from suitably qualified and experienced organisations to provide Construction Project Management Consultancy Services. Development Phase (RIBA 2-3) will run from the consultant's appointment to December 2027. Delivery Phase (RIBA 4-6) is anticipated to run from Spring 2028 to end 2031 (incl. defects rectification). This appointment includes a break clause; continuation to the Delivery Phase will depend on performance, obtaining all required permissions and consents, and a successful Round 2 pass. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037195-2026 | | Notice type | UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 23 Feb 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Apr 2026 - 17 Dec 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | £250,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEATH PORT TALBOT COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | PORT TALBOT | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA13 1PJ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL44 Neath Port Talbot | | Local authority | Neath Port Talbot | | Electoral ward | Aberavon | | Westminster constituency | Aberafan Maesteg | | Delivery location | TLL17 Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services - 71540000 - Construction management services ## Release History - 23 Apr 2026 at 14:17 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037195-2026 - 20 Jan 2026 at 19:36 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005062-2026 - 15 Jan 2026 at 15:14 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003581-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037195-2026 23rd April 2026 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/005062-2026 20th January 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003581-2026 15th January 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.npt.gov.uk - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/home.html - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
