Summary of the contracting process

The Development Bank of Wales has concluded a procurement process for copywriting services, culminating in the award stage. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure, focussing on acquiring services related to advertising and marketing. The contract, initiated in Cardiff under the oversight of the Development Bank, falls under the "public authority - central government" category and aligns with Welsh devolved regulations. With a legal basis grounded in UK regulations, this process officially concluded with the signing of the contract on 13th August 2025. The contractual period runs from 14th August 2025 to 27th July 2027, with potential extensions up to 2030, and the contract's gross value was recorded at £336,000.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the fields of advertising, marketing, and media communications, particularly those specialising in B2B services and sector-specific media content. As the procurement process was open, it aimed to harness competitive market forces to ensure high-quality service delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as Carys Mair Thomas and Seren Global Media, both secured supplier roles, emphasising the accessibility of such tenders to SMEs. The nature of the services, promoting strategic media content and B2B communications in both Welsh and broader UK markets, fits well with businesses skilled in rapid content turnaround and strategic media alignment. This tender highlights the importance of bilingual capabilities and aligns with the Development Bank's objectives to enhance its public relations and national exposure.
