Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council has completed a procurement process for delivering specialist trauma and mental health training services. The contract, titled "Specialist Trauma and Mental Health Training," falls under the training services category. It covers the delivery of a Level 5 Diploma in Trauma and Mental Health by Trauma Informed Schools UK (Cwtch Consulting Ltd). The procurement method utilised was direct, below the threshold and without competition, guided by Welsh devolved regulations. The contract, valued at £25,417, was signed on 31 October 2025 and is active until 10 March 2026, with services set to be delivered primarily in the UK's UKL14 region.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for organisations focusing on training services within the mental health and trauma sector. While suited for small and medium-sized enterprises, businesses proficient in educational and specialist training programmes stand to benefit significantly. The award to Cwtch Consulting Ltd underscores the potential for companies with niche expertise to secure direct contracts with governmental bodies, circumventing broader competitive processes. Establishing robust relationships with local councils like Carmarthenshire can lead to repeat business and entry into public sector offerings, thus fostering business expansion in specialised educational services.
