Powys County Council is asking contractors for feedback on plans to refurbish the Ysgol Calon Cymru campus in Builth Wells for Ysgol Bro Epynt. The council says the scheme has been designed to achieve energy efficiency performance 15% above current Building Regulations requirements. That is a design target for the scheme.
What the council is proposing
The council estimates the works at £7.5 million excluding VAT. It is using preliminary market engagement to test its delivery approach, including how a contractor could work around an occupied school. It wants Ysgol Bro Epynt to be operational from 1st September 2028.
How to take part
The council expects to submit a Building Regulations application in January 2027. Contractors interested in the engagement should follow the detailed notice, which asks them to contact the council by 5pm on 27th November 2026. Formal tender requirements will follow separately.
