Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Sport Wales, a sub-central public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations, concluded with the award and execution of a contract for the Sport Wales Investment Portal. Located at the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff, the organisation facilitated this tender under a selective procurement method known as the Competitive Flexible Procedure. The process commenced with planning stages in mid-2025, with the actual contract awarded in late 2025 to Optimy SA, a large company based in Brussels. The investment portal, a bilingual online platform for hosting various funding streams, falls under the industry categories of software and IT services, with a focus on financial systems integration. The contract, signed in December 2025, runs from January 2026 to January 2030, with an option to extend until 2034.

This procurement process presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, IT consulting, and financial services. Companies capable of delivering secure, user-friendly, and bilingual digital solutions, particularly those that can integrate complex financial and grant management systems, would find this type of tender beneficial. The contract worth approximately £469,400, with potential extensions, indicates a robust engagement poised for enhancing business capabilities and market presence within the UK government sector, particularly for those with experience in the specific requirements outlined by Sport Wales. Such opportunities underscore the importance for companies to stay agile and competitive, especially when engaging with tenders requiring advanced technical solutions and integration prowess.
