Summary of the contracting process

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council commissioned a deep listening exercise to support its Marmot Programme. The work is a research and consultation service, focused on listening to people and gathering insights to inform the programme. Delivery is in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. The procurement was classified as research consultancy services. The council is the buyer and intended user of the work.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Co-production Network for Wales. The council used an open competition below the public procurement threshold. The tender was published on 24 August 2026; questions closed on 31 August and submissions on 14 September 2026. Quality carried 80% of the evaluation and price 20%. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £77,000 excluding VAT (£92,400 including VAT). The lot was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council for a focused listening and research service supporting its Marmot Programme. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be able to design and deliver structured engagement, listen effectively to community perspectives, and turn what they hear into useful findings for a public programme. The chosen competition put substantially more weight on quality than price, so a credible offer would need to show a strong approach to the work and its delivery, not simply a low cost. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; the successful supplier, Co-production Network for Wales, is an SME and VCSE. This indicates that specialist, smaller organisations can compete for this type of council research and engagement work.
