Summary of the contracting process

The tender process, initiated by the Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, is for a contract titled "Review of BSL data collection and barriers." This project focuses on researching barriers in British Sign Language (BSL) data collection, to improve future data gathering methods in Wales. The procurement process was carried out through a limited competition method, below the threshold, which is part of a light touch regime. This contract is classified under the services category, specifically targeting research and development in the related field. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to Alma Economics Limited. Located in Cardiff, Wales, the buying authority completed this contract on 2nd April 2026, which is scheduled to run from 9th April 2026 to 2nd January 2027.
