Summary of the contracting process

Llywodraeth Cymru, also known as the Welsh Government, is currently in the planning stage for a significant procurement process, titled "WG Business Travel & Accommodation Contract". This planned contract focuses on hotel accommodation and business travel services, with an estimated value of £9,000,000. It will primarily serve the UK region. The procurement is slated to start on 17th October 2027 and run until 16th October 2031, with the procurement method anchored on a call-off from an existing framework agreement. A key milestone for interested parties is the publication of further notice planned for 2nd January 2027. This process is guided by the 2023 UKPGA legal framework.

This procurement presents considerable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as both are deemed suitable to participate. Companies specializing in hotel accommodation and business travel are particularly well-positioned to benefit. Engaging in this tender can significantly enhance a business's portfolio by aligning with a central government authority, enabling potential long-term growth through a multi-year contract.
