UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government procured membership of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), classified as membership organisation services. The requirement covers payment of membership fees to support the Welsh Government’s participation in IUCN. The buying organisation is Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, a central government public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations. The associated service is delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods, construction or operational delivery, and its purpose is institutional membership of an international conservation organisation. The selected provider, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is based in Gland, Switzerland, and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The award was made on 6 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. It runs from 8 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. Welsh Government used a direct award procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one completed lot and one active award. The evaluation outcome therefore reflects a direct appointment rather than a competitive assessment of multiple bids. The contract remains recorded as active for its stated period.

This procurement indicates demand from Welsh Government for formal membership of a recognised international conservation body, rather than for general environmental consultancy or conservation delivery. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would need to be an established membership organisation with a clear conservation, biodiversity or environmental policy remit, recognised international standing and the authority to provide institutional membership. Credibility would depend on demonstrating that membership gives a public-sector body access to relevant networks, expertise, policy engagement or other defined organisational benefits. Organisations considering future requirements of this type should understand government procurement routes below the applicable threshold and be able to present a clear membership offer, transparent fee structure and evidence of value to a devolved government buyer.
