Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government (Llywodraeth Cymru) has awarded a contract for a licence to use biodiversity data managed by Local Environmental Record Centres Wales Ltd. This procurement, identified as Licence for LERC Data, falls under the industry category of environmental indicators analysis and is conducted through a direct method below the threshold, without a competitive process, primarily because the supplier holds the necessary data. The contract commenced on the 5th of August 2025 and is set to conclude by the 31st of March 2027, with the procurement stage being complete. This transaction is to be implemented across regions within the United Kingdom, including Cardiff and Brecon, offering services related to environmental data management.

This tender presents opportunities for large enterprises operating within environmental data services, research, and management fields to engage with government contracts requiring specialised data. It emphasises the value of holding proprietary data, which can be a competitive edge in securing direct contracts. Businesses with capabilities in data acquisition, management, and analysis may find pathways for expansion by aligning with governmental organisations looking to utilise existing datasets to inform policy decisions and environmental analysis.
