Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government has awarded a contract for the provision of training under the National Training Framework on Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse, and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV). This process, initiated as a tender and currently at the award stage, involves the limited competition method, specifically for services. The contract, signed on 2nd March 2026, is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and is scheduled to end on 31st March 2029 with possible extensions until 2031. The procurement falls under central government authority, adhering to Welsh devolved regulations, and addresses training services particularly in adult education within the regions of the United Kingdom.

There are substantial opportunities for growth, especially for SMEs and VCSEs like SafeLives, which has been awarded this contract. With a gross value of £432,600, this procurement engagement indicates a promising market for businesses specialised in educational services and training in the field of domestic abuse and related issues. Organisations with expertise and a reputation in delivering high-quality training programmes may find significant potential in tendering for similar frameworks. Notably, these businesses could benefit from extended engagement through renewal options, providing avenues for sustained growth and influence in the specialised sector of VAWDASV education and training services.
