UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government is seeking a supplier to manage and coordinate the Quality Mark for Youth Work in Wales, a national award recognising standards in youth work. The supplier will work with representatives from across the Welsh youth work sector to deliver and further develop the award, with the aim of maximising its impact. This is a youth education service, delivered in Wales. The requirement concerns the ongoing administration and development of a national quality mark, rather than the direct provision of youth work itself.

The Welsh Government invited offers through an open tender procedure. The enquiry deadline was 26 October 2026 at 17:00, and the bid deadline was 2 November 2026 at 14:00. The planned contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend by one year, to 31 March 2030. The estimated value is £110,000 excluding VAT (£132,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 80% on the technical response and 20% on the commercial response. Bids may be submitted electronically, and submissions are accepted in English or Welsh. The successful supplier must manage finances and records to meet EU audit requirements if EU funding is used.

This opportunity suits suppliers with experience managing quality assurance or recognition schemes and a strong understanding of youth work standards and practice. Delivery depends on the ability to work collaboratively with organisations and representatives across Wales’s youth work sector, coordinate a national programme, and develop the scheme so it remains relevant and effective. The Welsh Government has marked the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Suppliers should also be able to manage programme finances and maintain records that meet EU audit requirements if EU funding is used. The work is service-led and centred on partnership, coordination and ongoing development of an established national award.
