Summary of the contracting process

Bridgend County Borough Council, a public authority under Welsh devolved regulations, initiated a tender for the provision of Community Asset Transfer (CAT) Business Support services, aimed at assisting in the transfer of community assets. The procurement followed an open competition method, with the industry category focused on business and management consultancy services. Initially, the tender stage was active, with key deadlines set for the submission and enquiry periods ending on 8th and 12th December 2025, respectively. However, on 13th February 2026, the procurement was cancelled, announcing plans to re-tender with a revised specification.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises equipped to provide consultancy services in asset transfer and management. The competitive criteria prioritised quality through method statement questions along with price aspects. Businesses specialising in consultancy or management services, particularly those familiar with community asset transfers, stood to benefit from potential contract renewals extending up to 2028. As the original tender has been cancelled, businesses should anticipate revised specifications for re-tendering, which may offer new avenues for competitive engagement.
