## Summary

The contract for "Wales Disabled Election Candidates Support" has been awarded by the Welsh Government (Llywodraeth Cymru) to Disability Wales. This procurement process was conducted through a direct award method due to the niche nature of the work and limited supplier interest. The Welsh Government, operating under the devolved regulations in Cardiff, aimed to secure a fund administrator for preparing, promoting, and managing a fund to assist disabled candidates in upcoming elections to the Senedd and local governments from May 2026. The procurement, categorised under administration and equal opportunities consultancy services, falls within the services industry, with a contract period running from 16 June 2025 to 31 July 2027, valued at £170,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in fund administration and consultancy services focused on equality and accessibility. It is particularly advantageous for organisations with experience in managing public sector or election-focused funds within devolved government contexts in the UK. Given its specialised nature, businesses with a background in disability advocacy and consultancy, like Disability Wales, are uniquely suited to leverage their expertise in delivering on this contract, promoting growth through enhancement of sector expertise and service provision visibility in government initiatives.

## Notice

The Welsh Government is seeking an appropriate fund administrator to deliver a contract for preparation, awareness raising and operation of a fund to support disabled candidates seeking election to the Senedd in May 2026 and local government in May 2027 and associated by elections with effect from May 2026.
