Summary of the contracting process

The tender process for the "Delivery of Wales Investment Summit 2025" has concluded, overseen by the Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government. This procurement falls under the "General public services" category and is located in Cardiff, UK. The procurement method used was limited, with the contract being awarded directly without prior publication of a call for competition due to specific technical requirements. The summit involves event services, including venue hire and associated accommodation. The final stage of the procurement, the award, was completed with the contract being signed on 18 March 2025. The successful supplier for this contract, valued at £308,965, is THE CELTIC MANOR RESORT LIMITED, a large-scale organisation based in Newport, UK.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the event management and hospitality sectors, particularly those capable of meeting high standards in venue capacity, accessibility, and security for significant public events. While this specific procurement required unique attributes from the successful bidder, similar government contracts in event services offer growth potential for businesses that can provide comprehensive event solutions and infrastructure. Companies with the ability to scale and provide integrated services would be well-suited to compete for future tenders of this calibre, as public sector events demand robust logistical support and hospitality expertise.
