Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council awarded a contract for "Family Mediation and Resiliency Support," focusing on bespoke trauma-informed mediation sessions to address complex family issues. Situated in Carmarthen, UK, the procurement process sought services within the health and social work sector, classified under CPV code 85000000. The direct procurement method was used for this below-threshold, light-touch regime contract, meaning it was awarded without competition. The procurement stage reached completion with the contract awarded to CYCA, a supplier located in Llanelli, UK. The contract became active on 1st June 2026 and will run until 31st March 2027, with a gross value of £37,000.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those skilled in family mediation and trauma care. Organisations that offer innovative, tailored support services might find growth potential in securing similar contracts with public authorities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, or social enterprises (VCSEs) like CYCA, which has successfully won the contract, are specifically well-suited for this type of procurement process, given the direct and non-competitive nature of such awards. This type of tender allows SMEs to engage in public sector procurement, promoting business expansions and expertise diversification.
