Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by the Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government focuses on "Toxicological Analysis WIIS," specifically for laboratory analysis related to wildlife and other samples to determine causes of death. The project falls under the services category and was procured through a limited method, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition due to its alignment with the Natural Resources Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract is valued at £700,000 and was signed on 28 October 2025. The procurement process is now at the award stage, with the contract awarded to SASA, a large-scale supplier based in Edinburgh. This contract addresses services needed within the UKM75 region, offering an opportunity to establish collaborative links with the Welsh Government in the field of environmental and chemical analysis.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in laboratory testing and scientific analysis, particularly those focusing on toxicology and environmental sciences. Companies with expertise in providing specialist laboratory services, including those capable of conducting detailed pesticide-related investigations, would be well-suited to engage with projects of this nature. Such contracts enable growth potential by allowing businesses to establish themselves as vital contributors to public health and safety initiatives supported by government agencies. Furthermore, the provision for expert witness statements and related education services broadens the scope for further involvement in related future projects, presenting an avenue for business growth and expanded service offering.
