Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd is seeking an independent procurement expert to review the Council’s existing procurement and category management arrangements. This is a professional business consultancy service, intended to assess how procurement and category management are currently organised within the Council. The work is for the Council in Gwynedd, Wales. The requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate workstreams, so suppliers would need to offer a review covering both procurement arrangements and category management.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 14 October 2026 at 17:00, and the offer deadline was 16 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 1 March 2027. Its estimated value is £15,000 excluding VAT (£18,000 including VAT). The procurement is one lot. Evaluation is based on price and quality: quality carries 70% and price 30%. The participation criteria refer bidders to the attached procurement documents for details.

This opportunity is suited to an independent consultancy or specialist with practical expertise in public-sector procurement and category management. Suppliers should be able to review an organisation’s existing arrangements and provide relevant professional advice across both areas. The scope may suit small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The work is a focused review for one council, rather than a requirement to deliver ongoing procurement operations or supply goods. The brief and terms and conditions are provided in Welsh and English, which may help suppliers assess the full requirement and contract terms.
