Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "itt_123326 - Stalking Advocacy Service" was conducted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed Powys, headquartered in Carmarthen, United Kingdom. The tender falls under the industry category of services, specifically provision of services to the community, as described by CPV codes 75200000 and 98000000. The process reached the award stage on 15th June 2026, with the contract awarded on 9th June 2026. The service will be delivered in regions UKL14 and UKL24, starting from 1st September 2026, with an initial end date of 31st March 2029, and a possible extension up to 31st March 2030. This open procurement process was held below the threshold through an open competition framework.

This tender presents growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in community services or social advocacy. PALADIN NSAS, a large-scale company, was the successful supplier, highlighting that businesses of significant size and capability tend to benefit from such contracts. However, there was participation from SMEs, suggesting opportunities for smaller, compliant organisations to also compete. The contract values quality and social value alongside price, making it suitable for businesses that can deliver high standards of service and contribute positively to the community. The open competition allows various types of businesses to participate and fosters an inclusive approach, which is beneficial for enterprises aiming to expand their social service offerings.
