Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government, located in Cardiff, has concluded the procurement process for the "Bro Tathan Utilities" project, a services-related contract in the Broadband Wales industry category. The procurement reached the award stage on 10th July 2025, with the contract having been previously signed on 1st April 2025. The process involved a direct award to Openreach under Section 41 Direct Award, as outlined in Schedule 5 (6) of the Procurement Act 2023. The location of the project is tied to Wales, reflecting the government's prioritisation of enhancing local utility services.

This contract provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in broadband services, particularly those with capabilities in large-scale utility projects. The direct award to Openreach suggests an emphasis on firms with established track records and resources sufficient for immediate project implementation. Companies seeking to expand their operations in Wales or in the broadband utilities sector may consider strengthening their organisation's profile and partnerships to become more competitive in similar procurement methods in the future.
