Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government has completed the procurement of the Wales Africa Small Grants Scheme for the period 2025-2028, under the industry category of general public services. This scheme aims to support community groups and organisations in Wales to access funding for small-scale projects contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and delivering mutual benefits to Wales and Africa. The procurement process, which followed an open procedure, began with the tender stage on 25th October 2024, with a submission deadline of 29th November 2024. The award was made on 2nd December 2024, and the contract was signed on 8th January 2025, and will run for three years. The total contract value is £179,068 GBP, and the successful supplier is The Wales Council for Voluntary Action, located in Cardiff.

This procurement presents considerable opportunities for businesses looking to engage in the delivery of community-beneficial projects. The emphasis on funding small-scale initiatives that advance the UN SDGs opens avenues for SMEs and consortia with expertise in project administration, community engagement, and sustainable development. Businesses experienced in managing grant distribution, particularly those with ties to both Welsh and African community projects, are well-suited to compete for such tenders. The successful implementation of this scheme not only enhances business credibility but also contributes to global poverty reduction efforts and establishes a strong presence in the public service sector.
