This is a construction contract to physically build the works needed to merge two primary schools (Llanfabon Infants and Llancaiach Junior) into one combined school on the Llanfabon Infants site. The contract has already been awarded to Andrew Scott Ltd, so this notice confirms the award decision after design was completed in stage one.
Requirements
- Contractor must be pre-qualified on the South East & Mid Wales Collaborative Contraction (SEWSCAP) 3 Framework
- Full approval from the local Council required
- Full approval from Welsh Government (WG) required
- Contractor must have completed stage one (design phase) or be able to work from stage one designs
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Construct physical works to enable the two schools to operate as one combined primary school on the Llanfabon Infants site
- Execute all construction detailed in the stage one design plans
- Manage the construction process to minimise disruption to school operations (implied due to active school site)
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a contract award notice, not an open tender — Andrew Scott Ltd has already won this. If you're not the winner, this shows you what type of work the council commissions and which frameworks they use (SEWSCAP 3).
- 2This was a two-stage process: stage one was design (already done), stage two is construction (this award). The notice confirms stage two approval, meaning funding and planning are locked in.
- 3Look for the full tender documents and stage one design specifications — they'll contain the detailed scope of what 'amalgamation works' actually means (new classrooms, toilets, entrance reorganisation, etc.).
- 4Note this used a framework agreement (SEWSCAP 3), meaning if you want similar council work, pre-qualification on that framework is essential.
- 5Welsh Government approval suggests this is significant spend (likely six figures or more) — check the contract value in the full notice documents.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're interested in school building projects with this council, check if you can join the SEWSCAP 3 Framework — framework qualification opens doors to multiple contracts without re-tendering each time.
- Consider subcontracting opportunities: specialist trades (mechanical/electrical, asbestos removal, specialist flooring) often contract separately. Contact Andrew Scott Ltd to ask about supply chain opportunities.
- School projects often score well on social value criteria (local jobs, apprenticeships, community benefits) — if you bid similar work, emphasise how you'll support local employment and training.
