UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government commissioned an evaluation of the Landfill Tax Disposal Communities Scheme (LDTCS) covering rounds 6 to 13. The work is social research and research consultancy, examining how effectively the scheme has been delivered, whether it has achieved its intended outcomes, and how it contributes to wider Welsh Government priorities. The buyer is Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, based in Cardiff. Delivery is across Wales. This is a public-sector policy evaluation rather than landfill operations, construction or waste collection: relevant businesses are those able to design and carry out structured evaluations of community, environmental or public funding programmes, and to provide evidence on delivery, outcomes and wider policy impact.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. Wavehill Ltd was awarded the research services contract, which was signed on 30 July 2026. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 May 2027 and is valued at £73,687.50 including gross value, in GBP. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated as a limited competition under the Welsh Government’s procurement process. The award covers the evaluation of the Landfill Tax Disposal Communities Scheme for rounds 6 to 13, with the contract period providing the delivery timeframe for the commissioned work.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Welsh Government for a focused evaluation of a grant or community funding scheme, at a modest, defined project scale. Suppliers well placed for similar work would have demonstrable capability in social research, research consultancy and programme evaluation, including assessing delivery effectiveness, intended outcomes and contribution to wider government priorities. Credible competitors would need to interpret evidence from multiple scheme rounds, form defensible findings about impact, and present conclusions that are useful to policy and funding decision-makers. Experience evaluating environmental, community or public-sector programmes would be directly relevant. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of specialist evaluation can be delivered by a smaller research consultancy rather than only a large professional services firm.
