Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of interactive theatre performances aimed at Key Stage 2 pupils. The main objective of this initiative is to support the Welsh Government Local Air Quality Management Support Fund by educating pupils about air quality and encouraging sustainable behaviours. The winning supplier, Performance In Education, will deliver these services, under a contract that runs from 11 November 2025 to 31 March 2026 with an option for extension up to 2028, depending on funding. The procurement was a limited competition process, specifically tailored for services under the ‘lightTouch’ regime, relevant to air quality management and recreational, cultural, and sporting services in the UK, particularly focusing on areas within the UKL16 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in educational and cultural performance services, particularly those with expertise in theatre production and environmental themes. Businesses capable of producing engaging and interactive content that aligns with educational curricula, including the ability to produce Welsh language materials, are ideally positioned to succeed in such bids. The initial contract is valued at £25,350, excluding VAT, with a potential overall value of up to £72,000, creating room for growth and scale. Thus, enterprises with innovative approaches to enhancing educational experiences through multimedia and interactive methods could leverage this opportunity for business expansion and enhanced visibility within public sector frameworks.
