Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council is managing this procurement for Adnodd: production and publication of Welsh- and English-language study and revision guides for all ten subjects in the second wave of reformed WJEC Made-for-Wales GCSEs and related qualifications. The subjects are Dance; Design and Technology; Digital Media and Film; Digital Technology; Health and Social Care, and Childcare; Integrated Science (Single Award); Physical Education and Health; Social Studies; The Sciences (Double Award); and Level 2 Additional Mathematics. The work covers the guides’ production and publication, after which the supplier must make the titles available for sale on the open market and keep them available for at least five years. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The procurement is divided into one lot. The enquiry deadline was 21 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time, and the bid submission deadline was 29 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 27 November 2026 to 30 November 2027. The estimated value is £320,000 excluding VAT (£400,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives quality 75% of the score and price 25%. Caerphilly County Borough Council is procuring on behalf of Adnodd.

This requirement suits publishers and education-content suppliers able to develop and publish study and revision materials across a broad range of GCSE subjects. Suppliers need to deliver content in both Welsh and English and cover all ten specified subject areas, either through in-house expertise or suitable partners. The work also calls for the ability to take guides through production and publication and to keep each title on the open market for at least five years. Graphic design, printing, translation and authoring capabilities are relevant to the scope. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. Quality carries substantially more evaluation weight than price, making the strength of the proposed content and delivery approach especially relevant.
