Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council has initiated a procurement process titled "RE TENDER: Growing Mid Wales - Commercial Property Investment Fund - Consultant Resources". The industry category pertains to business and management consultancy services, located in Aberystwyth, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is now marked as complete, following a tender cancellation announced on 15th January 2026, due to no compliant bids received during the re-tendering exercise. Initially, the tender was open for submissions until 30th October 2025, with the intended contract period starting on 5th December 2025. The procurement was conducted as an open competition below the threshold, allowing opportunities for a broader range of suppliers to participate.

This tender offers significant potential for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in evaluating property investment proposals. It was well-suited for SMEs and VCSEs given its below-threshold open competition nature. Although this particular procurement opportunity did not proceed to contract award, businesses considering similar future opportunities with the County Council can leverage this experience to build their credentials and refine their bids for future rounds, potentially expanding to other lots or sectors within publicly funded growth initiatives.
