This project aims to replace existing school buildings with an energy-efficient facility for 72 children. The Council is seeking experienced contractors for this design and build project. Key dates include a future notice date of June 28, 2024, and a deadline for contacting the Council by February 16, 2024, to participate in market engagement. This tender offers opportunities for contractors experienced in construction projects focused on sustainable design and social value creation. Businesses specialised in design and build construction, particularly those with expertise in educational facilities and sustainability, are well-suited to compete. Powys County Council, as the buying organisation, emphasises fair and effective procurement processes, highlighting the importance of industry experience and collaboration for successful project delivery. ## Notice Powys County Council (the "Council") is preparing to tender for the construction of a new Alternative Provision School at Brynllywarch, near Kerry in Powys. This will provide a new, fit for purpose and energy efficient building to replace the existing, adjacent school buildings. It will provide accommodation for 72 children within a GIFA of 1537 m2. The Council is preparing to commence the formal competitive process to award the contract for Brynllywarch AP School. In the interest of running a fair, efficient and effective procurement process and to help inform the Council's' approach to procurement, the Council is seeking to engage with potential contractors experienced in leading and delivering similar design and build construction projects in advance of commencing the formal procurement process. Further details are set out in II.2.4 below. ### Lot Information Lot 1 A design for Brynllywarch has been prepared by a multi-disciplinary team working for a main contractor previously engaged. This design was progressed broadly to RIBA Work Stage 4. The scheme has been designed to be Net Zero Carbon in operation, and to achieve less than 600kg/m2 CO2E. The project has been awarded full planning permission, subject to conditions. The Council is currently proposing to tender the project as a design and build contract, using the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract with Main Option A, Secondary Option Clauses and amendments by way of Z clauses. The Council is inviting potential contractors experienced in leading and delivering similar construction 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 expectations in respect of risk allocation; (b) the market's current approach to pricing; (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 Brynllywarch project 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 16th February 2024. 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=137980 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Jun 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £9,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | POWYS COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LLANDRINDOD WELLS | | Post town | Llandrindod Wells | | Postcode | LD1 5LG | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL41 Mid Wales | | Local authority | Powys | | Electoral ward | Llandrindod South | | Westminster constituency | Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe | | Delivery location | TLL24 Powys | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45210000 - Building construction work - 45214000 - Construction work for buildings relating to education and research - 45214200 - Construction work for school buildings - 45300000 - Building installation work - 45400000 - Building completion work ## Release History - 31 Jan 2024 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=137980 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN465383 Construction of a New Special AP School in Kerry, Powys - Powys County Council (the "Council") is preparing to tender for the construction of a new Alternative Provision School at Brynllywarch, near Kerry in Powys.
