Tender description

The Welsh Education Partnership is currently developing (c. 35) new schools and colleges throughout Wales. Once developed, for each project a Project Company will be formed who will be responsible for the construction delivering and subsequent operation of the project for a 25 year term. Due to the long-term nature of the projects ensuring the facilities are built and commissioned to the highest standard is critical to the projects success.

As such we will provide all tenderers with: • A maximum price for the delivery of each of the services • Minimum expectations in terms of site presence, reporting and ongoing engagement These roles are being procured by WEPCo and the formal appointment will be issued for each project at financial close. The organisation will be jointly appointment by the relevant Local Authority and Project Co. WEPCo has already commenced the development of 4 schools with the first expected to commence construction in early 2022. Further schools and colleges are expected to commence design development this year. The first project is being developed as a Net Zero Carbon project in operation. This represents an opportunity to partner with WEPCo to support the delivery of high quality energy efficient sustainable schools and colleges for future generations.
