Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract, awarded by the Welsh Government, focuses on evaluating the Programme for Government Cultural Capital Grants. This contract, identified by "C223/2025/2026", requires a comprehensive assessment of grant implementations and their impacts. Located in Cardiff, Wales, this project falls within the research and development services industry category and is presently at the "Award" stage. Key dates in this contract include its signing on 4th December 2025 and a work period extending from 5th December 2025 to 6th March 2026, with a potential one-month extension. Engaging in a limited procurement method due to below-threshold competition, this project presents a pivotal opportunity for service evaluation within Welsh central government regulations.

This tender offers substantial business growth prospects, especially for firms specialising in research and consultancy services. With the contract awarded to Alma Economics, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in London, this project exemplifies a competitive opportunity for businesses skilled in synthesising existing evaluations and conducting primary data collection when necessary. Companies adept in policy analysis, strategic evaluation and those with expertise in cultural capital investments will find themselves well-suited to undertake such governmental assessments. The focus on synthesising pre-existing data alongside generating new insights can attract enterprises looking for strategic involvement in public sector evaluation projects.
