Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government is embarking on the procurement process for the "Welsh Language Transmission Interventions" contract, classified under the design and execution of research and development services. This initiative is aimed at enhancing the transmission of the Welsh language from parents to children, with Claremont Communications having previously engaged in an initial phase of the project. The procurement method is classified as limited and specifically involves a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice. The contract was awarded on 26 May 2022, and the procurement stage has reached completion.

This tender presents substantial business opportunities, particularly for companies with expertise in behavioural science and language transmission, as specialised knowledge in these areas is crucial. Businesses well-suited for this contract are those that have a proven track record in conducting high-level research and developing effective behavioural interventions, especially in language education and family engagement. As the Welsh Government is focused on creating value through established partnerships, this project could facilitate growth for organisations that can demonstrate a deep understanding of Welsh language policy and effective communication strategies.
