Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council, acting on behalf of Adnodd, is in the planning stage of a public procurement process to establish a Framework Agreement for the acquisition of Welsh and bilingual educational resources and consultancy services. This procurement process focuses on services within the education and training sector and is set in the UK, specifically covering the region of Wales (UKL). The framework aims to engage various suppliers across five lots, including digital and multi-media resources, print resources, creative content providers, educational consultancy, and research and evaluation projects. A pivotal milestone of this tender is the market engagement webinars scheduled for 29 January 2026, which are intended to share further details with potential applicants.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational resources, consultancy, and creative content development. With a framework initially running for four years, and the potential to extend for another four, this offers a long-term engagement that could be advantageous to new and emerging businesses aiming to penetrate the educational market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are expressly encouraged to apply, as the framework will be regularly reopened allowing them to join future commissioning rounds. This procurement process is a strategic move aimed at building partnerships with diverse businesses capable of producing adaptable resources that inspire teaching and learning within the Curriculum for Wales.
