## Summary

Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru is seeking to enhance its community and stakeholder engagement across five significant onshore wind energy projects in Wales, with the procurement process now at the award stage. The contract, titled "Trydan Community and Stakeholder Engagement Support," focuses on public relations services within the environmental sector. The engagement covers projects located in Carmarthenshire, Denbighshire/Conwy, Rhondda Cynon Taf, and Neath Port Talbot, with a total estimated three-year contract value of £990,000. With contracts already awarded in April 2025, this procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, adhering to European Union procurement laws, and the initial tender was issued on the 23rd of January, 2025.
