Summary of the contracting process

Careers Wales, a public body governed by the Welsh Government and located in Cardiff, facilitated an open procurement process for evaluation consultancy services titled "Evaluation of engagement with Careers Wales services." The primary focus was to conduct an evaluation covering the engagement and experiences of diverse customer groups, including those with protected characteristics and Welsh language speakers, across various service channels. The procurement process transitioned from the tender phase, with a submission deadline of 24th November 2025, to the award phase, culminating in a contract signed on 4th December 2025. The contract was awarded to Darogan Limited, based in Cardiff, with the service period stipulated from December 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy, especially those with a commitment to fairness, environmental sustainability, and bilingual service delivery in Welsh and English. It is particularly suitable for companies that have previously handled complex evaluations involving diverse stakeholders and that have experience in both public and private sector engagement. Businesses that can provide robust methodologies for evaluating customer engagement and service effectiveness in line with government policy will find this procurement an opportunity to establish or expand their footprint in the public service evaluation sector within Wales.
