## Summary

Pembrokeshire County Council has awarded a contract for the development of a package deal for the provision of affordable housing in Pembroke Dock. The project involves the redevelopment of the former Cleddau Bridge Hotel site to deliver around 35 units of affordable and social housing to Welsh Design Quality Requirements (WDQR) standards. The contract, valued at approximately £10 million, was signed on 21 February 2025 and is set to commence in April 2025, with an estimated completion date in early 2027. The procurement method was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the unique nature of the site and the developer's (Castell Construction Ltd) exclusive rights and existing planning permission.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in construction, social housing, and related services. Castell Construction Ltd, an SME, has been selected to carry out the development. Companies with experience in residential development, particularly those with a track record in building to high-quality standards and in compliance with local regulations, will find this sector ripe for engagement. The project addresses critical local housing shortages, enabling businesses involved to establish and strengthen their presence in the Pembrokeshire region, contributing to and benefiting from the significant demand for social and affordable housing.

## Notice

Pembrokeshire County Council (the Council) has identified a development opportunity at the former Cleddau Bridge Hotel site at Pembroke Dock (the Site) which it considers suitable to deliver housing on. The Site was up for sale for some time but has been purchased from a third party by Port Talbot Developments SPV1 Ltd (PTDSPV), a company which is 100% owned by Castell Group Limited (CGL) and which has recently obtained planning permission for the site. CGL is 80% owned by Property Brothers Limited and 20% owned by Clive Hill Ltd. Property Brothers Ltd is 100% owned by Dorian Payne. CGL has approached the Council with a proposal for bringing about development of the Site as described in this notice. CGL's proposal is that, CGL's delivery arm, Castell Construction Ltd (CCL) which is 80% owned by Dorian Payne and 20% by Clive Hill Ltd will develop the Site for affordable and social housing (circa 35 units) to Welsh Design Quality Requirements (WDQR) standard. Continued in II.2.4

### Lot Information

Lot 1

CGL requires the Council to (i) agree and complete a contract for the purchase of the Site from PTDSPV; and (ii) immediately following its acquisition of the Site, enter into a JCT Design and Build contract (the 'Contract') with CCL for the delivery of housing on the Site subject to compliance with planning permission dated 13th December 2024, ref 24/0724/PA. The arrangement will result in the Council placing a legally enforceable obligation on CCL to commence and deliver housing on the Site in accordance with agreed specification requirements as set out in the Contract, which the Council will pay CCL for. The Council will take ownership of the completed housing outputs to be delivered on the Site. The Council, relying on Regulation 32(2)(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) intends to award a contract to CCL for the delivery of housing on the Site (as described in this notice). Further information on this is set out in Annex D1.

### Procurement Information

The Council has a corporate priority that aims to increase the supply of affordable housing and social homes and is seeking to expand its housing stock to satisfy local housing need. The Council considers the need for social and affordable housing in the development area to be significant and that the proposed transactions with PTDSPV and CCL will help the Council to meet housing demand. Furthermore, delivering the housing on the Site as described in this notice will assist the Council to meet its own homes targets as well as the targets set by Welsh Government. In recent years the Council, when conducting procurement exercises to appoint contractors to deliver residential developments on Council-owned land, has experienced a lack of interest from the market, with there being no bids received or any bids not being viable. Attracting a new contractor, such as CGL/CCL, to Pembrokeshire, which specialises in social housing builds with a proven track record of delivering such homes across Wales to WDQR standards is highly desirable, given that the Council has struggled to attract housing contractors to the local market previously. The Council considers that there is limited availability of land/suitable sites in the Local Development Plan within Pembroke / Pembroke Dock which are designated to allow for residential development of this scale and without significant site challenges that impact development viability. For this reason, the proposed development is only capable of being delivered on the Site. The proposal by CCL is for a development programme of 18 months]). CCL estimates commencing the development in April 2025, which would mean completion in early 2027. The speed of delivery is particularly attractive to the Council because of the extreme housing need currently being experienced across the county. The Council currently has a significant spend on long term bed and breakfast accommodation approx. 3mGBP p.a. to house homeless residents. This level of spend is unsustainable and therefore there is a pressing need to accelerate the delivery of affordable homes. Continued in VI.4.3)
