Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council commissioned a review of Delta Wellbeing, its local authority trading company (LATC). The work examines the company’s impact and value for money for council residents, including its contribution to the wider health and social care system, the Council’s Contact Centre, and out-of-hours and emergency responses. It also assesses the benefits of delivering the service through a trading company compared with providing it in-house, and considers the company’s future purpose, focus and sustainability to maximise outcomes for residents and the Council. This is a consultancy and analysis requirement, rather than the purchase of equipment or construction work. The work is for Carmarthenshire County Council and relates to services for residents in Carmarthenshire, Wales.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dyma Ni (trading as Yma). Carmarthenshire County Council used a direct award without competition, as a below-threshold procurement. The review was procured as one lot. The contract was signed on 11 February 2026 and runs from 11 February to 11 September 2026. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The recorded award is active, and the contract is active. The stated purpose and evaluation basis is to assess the trading company’s impact and value for money, compare its benefits with in-house provision, and establish what purpose, focus and sustainability are needed to secure maximum impact. No separate scoring or weighting is recorded.

The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this review was within the reach of a smaller consultancy rather than being limited to a large firm. A credible competitor for a future review of this kind would need to combine public-sector evaluation skills with a sound understanding of local authority trading companies, service performance and value for money. Experience assessing health and social care systems, contact-centre provision, and out-of-hours or emergency services would be relevant, alongside the ability to compare an external trading-company model with in-house delivery. Suppliers should be able to turn evidence about effects on residents and the Council into clear, practical advice on organisational purpose, service focus and long-term sustainability. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so it also demonstrates the route used for this particular below-threshold review.
