UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "Democratic Impact and Change 2026" was conducted by Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, a central government body operating under Welsh devolved regulations, located in Cardiff, United Kingdom. This contract was awarded on 8th December 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2026. It pertains to the services industry, specifically research consultancy services, focusing on the procurement of research elements as part of the Wales Omnibus Survey for the months of January, February, March, and June 2026. This direct procurement method was executed below the threshold without competitive tendering, and the contract was awarded to Beaufort Research, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Cardiff. The initial contract value was increased by purchasing additional research elements, with a gross amount of £39,384.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the research consultancy sector. While this particular contract was awarded without competition, understanding the needs and processes of public authorities, such as the Welsh Government, can position businesses to stay abreast of similar service opportunities. SMEs specializing in research and data collection would be well-suited to explore potential partnerships or sub-contracting arrangements in future related projects. Engaging with public procurement processes can not only lead to direct business growth but also enhance a company's profile within the public sector marketplace.
