Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government (Llywodraeth Cymru) is in the planning stage for their upcoming Export Services Framework, targeting businesses and management consultancy services, as well as market and economic research. As a central government public authority, they are progressing with procurement under the legal framework referenced by UKPGA 2023/54. Based in Cardiff, this procurement process will serve the region of the United Kingdom (UKL) with the framework scheduled to commence on 18th June 2027 and conclude on 18th June 2029. The procurement process is above the threshold, allowing visibility for significant opportunities before a planned future notice on 18th December 2026.

This procurement presents growth opportunities especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the framework's suitability for these entities. The focus on consultancy and research services indicates that companies with expertise in these sectors should consider preparing for participation. Engaging with this process could open doors to collaborative opportunities within the public sector, fostering business expansion and elevating market presence. Companies already operating or looking to establish a foothold in the UK's consultancy and research domains are well-positioned to compete.
