Summary of the contracting process

Welsh Government is seeking a provider to design and deliver a national training programme supporting Phase 1 implementation of the Homelessness and Social Housing Allocation (Wales) Act 2026. The training is intended to prepare relevant practitioners for the new legislative requirements. This is a professional training and related consultancy service (CPV 73000000). Delivery is across Wales. The requirement is organised as one lot, covering the complete programme rather than separate regional or service packages.

Welsh Government invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 10 November 2026 at 14:00, and the deadline for questions was 3 November 2026 at 14:00. The buyer set 18 December 2026 as the award decision deadline. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January to 4 October 2027, with a possible one-month, time-only extension at no additional cost. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 70% technical quality and 30% commercial. Economic and technical participation criteria apply, with details set out in the Invitation to Tender. The process is at the tender stage; no cancellation or withdrawal is reported.

The opportunity suits training providers able to develop and deliver a national programme for practitioners working with homelessness and social housing allocation in Wales. Suppliers will need to address the implementation of new legislative requirements, so relevant subject knowledge and the ability to translate legislation into practical learning for practitioners will be pertinent to the technical assessment. Delivery across Wales calls for capacity to serve a national audience. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable, making the requirement accessible to providers of different organisational types. Technical quality carries substantially more evaluation weight than price, so a strong programme design and credible delivery approach are central to competing. The ITT contains the detailed economic and technical participation criteria.
