## Summary

Vale of Glamorgan Council appointed construction management services for the development of eight new council homes at Maes y Ffynnon, Bonvilston. The appointed company is responsible for overseeing the project from end to end, including procuring the subcontractors needed for the construction work. The requirement covers management-related services, including coordinating the development, preparing and progressing the work needed to deliver the homes, and engaging the supply chain for subcontractor work packages. Delivery is at the Maes y Ffynnon development in Bonvilston, within the Vale of Glamorgan. This is a council housing development requirement rather than a standalone building materials or general consultancy contract: the central role is construction management and coordination of the full delivery programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award to Synergy Construction Management on 27 August 2026. The award value is £354,714 excluding VAT and £425,656.80 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 September 2026 to 7 September 2027, with a maximum extent date of 9 December 2027 and renewal provided for contingency planning. The council used a direct award because ecological surveys identified great crested newts and mitigation had to be completed within a limited seasonal window before hibernation. The council stated that a competitive procurement could not be completed in time, the urgency was unavoidable and not caused by the council, and the circumstances could not reasonably have been foreseen. The contract was awarded above the relevant threshold.

This procurement shows demand from Vale of Glamorgan Council for a construction management company able to lead a council house development through its full delivery cycle. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate design development, detailed construction drawings, planning-condition discharge, site surveys, subcontractor procurement and supply-chain engagement, including obtaining estimated costs for work packages. The requirement also demonstrates the importance of managing environmental constraints: ecological survey findings identified great crested newts, requiring mitigation and translocation planning before development could proceed. Suppliers with practical construction-management experience, strong subcontractor and supply-chain relationships, and the ability to coordinate planning, design, ecological and delivery requirements would be well placed for a similar requirement from this buyer.

## Notice

To provide Construction Management services to oversee the end-to-end project inclusive of the procurement of sub-contractors.

### Procurement Information

Synergy CML then began undertaking additional site surveys, work to produce the detailed construction drawings, discharging planning conditions, engaging with the supply chain to provide estimated costs for the subcontractor works packages. Ecological surveys undertaken in support of the proposed development have confirmed the presence of a population of Great Crested Newts (GCN) within the site. GCN are a priority species requiring appropriate mitigation measures before development activities can commence. Current ecological advice confirms that any translocation exercise must be undertaken during a limited seasonal activity period i.e. before the end of the summer. Once the species enters hibernation, effective capture and relocation become impracticable until the following active season. a. The services are strictly necessary: The translocation of GCN is a prerequisite to the safe progression of development and forms an essential ecological mitigation measure. b. There is extreme and unavoidable urgency: The works must be completed before the species enters hibernation. Failure to do so would prevent effective mitigation until the following season. c. A competitive procurement cannot be completed in time: The period remaining before hibernation is insufficient to undertake a full competitive procurement exercise and mobilise a contractor whilst still delivering the works within the ecological window. d. The urgency is not attributable to the Council: The requirement arises from ecological survey findings and seasonal biological constraints rather than any delay or omission by the Council. e. The circumstances could not reasonably have been foreseen: The conflicting planning conditions only came to light when activity and evidence required to discharge the planning began in November 2025. Due to conflicting planning conditions contained within the 19th October 2022 consent, it was necessary to resubmit a Section 73 Planning Application to vary Conditions. A revised Planning Consent was received on the 17th July 2026.
