B1017 - Bridgend West Pre-Construction Services Agreement

Overview

This is a UK7 - Contract Details Notice, announcing the urgent Direct Award of a PCSA Contract to Willmott Dixon Construction Ltd (WDCL) and follows the publication of the required UK5 - Transparency Notice on 8th April 2026 and a UK6 - Contract Award Notice on 7th May 2026. The PCSA is directly awarded in support of the design and construction of the schools, demolition and site clearance, associated external works and infrastructure removal and diversion (The Works). The value of the Services to be carried out under the PCSA is £697,261 plus VAT (Including contingencies.). In order for WDCL to provide a firm price for the additional works, which have been deemed necessary by the local Planning Authority and Highways Authority, it is necessary for BCBC to instruct WDCL to carry out the PCSA services. BCBC does not consider it feasible for a third party designer or contractor to carry out the PCSA services, in view of the need for WDCL to rely on the outputs of PCSA services, only WDCL can enter into the PCSA. In view of the condition of the primary school estate the Works are urgent and due to the conditions imposed by the local Planning Authority and Highways Authority, there is no reasonable alternative to BCBC awarding the PCSA to WDCL.
