Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government is initiating a Rural Support Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to deliver a wide range of services within the rural sector. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, and the initiative will run from late September 2024 to October 2028. Based in Cardiff, this open procedure seeks to engage suppliers through an evolving platform accessible for four years, allowing applications throughout its duration. The procurement project is valued at £400 million and comprises three main categories: Programme and Project Support Services, Advice and Technical Services, and Engagement Services, each addressing various aspects of rural support such as agricultural production, sustainable land management, and innovation. Call-off contracts are expected to start via mini-competitions soon after the DPS establishment, with electronic submission required through http://www.etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in the rural, agricultural, and environmental sectors. Businesses with expertise in areas like agricultural diversification, woodland and forestry, rural infrastructure, and natural resources will find this an attractive proposition. The Welsh Government seeks suppliers capable of enhancing rural community support, conducting technical assessments, and fostering innovation within the sector. Businesses interested in policy development, sustainable practices, and rural community engagement are well-suited to benefit from participating in this expansive DPS framework. Additionally, the framework supports comprehensive engagement and communication initiatives, making it an ideal opportunity for businesses looking to expand their impact in Wales' rural sector.
