Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for the "Development of a Regional Parent Champion Network" has been completed with Carmarthenshire County Council acting as the leading buying organisation. The procurement, categorized under research and development services, took place in the United Kingdom, specifically within the regions covered by UKL14. The contract award was finalised on 23rd September 2025, after progressing through an open procurement method which included below-threshold, light-touch competition. Initially initiated on 11th April 2025, the overall process was facilitated electronically, with tender submission ending on 2nd May 2025. This involved collaboration among three sub-central government authorities: Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, and Ceredigion County Councils.

This contract presents opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) especially those with expertise in research, development services, and parent engagement consultancy. Given that the procurement was conducted under an open competition model, SMEs had equitable access to bid, thus ensuring potential for business growth within these sectors. Businesses with proficiency in managing regional network projects, particularly those based within or able to operate in the UKL14 region, would find themselves well-suited to successfully fulfil contracts of this nature. This tender not only facilitates business growth by opening up avenues for service diversification and partnership opportunities but also enhances the visibility of engaged enterprises in public sector engagements.
