## Summary

ADSS Cymru, a not-for-profit organisation representing the Statutory Directors of Social Services in Wales, alongside Denbighshire County Council, has completed the procurement process for "ADSS Cymru Business Support Services." The tender aimed to appoint a service provider to enhance social services across Wales and influence national policy development. The process, conducted under an open procedure, consisted of several stages, including a planning phase that commenced in June 2025 and culminated in the awarding of the contract to Practice Solutions Ltd in December 2025. The procurement fell within the services category, specifically targeting administrative social services, and will extend from April 2026 to March 2030, with an option for renewal up to 2032. This contract anticipates a significant contribution towards social services improvement under Welsh devolved regulations, with a contract value of £1,350,000 GBP.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs skilled in providing comprehensive administrative social services. Businesses with capabilities in business and management consultancy, office-support services, and related business services can find a foothold in this procurement, given the focus on delivering high-quality support to ADSS Cymru. The successful bid by Practice Solutions Ltd, an SME located in Mountain Ash, underscores the prospects for smaller companies to engage in public sector tenders that influence regional and national policy frameworks. The procurement process prioritises quality in service provision, enabling businesses to leverage their expertise in consultancy and project management within the public sector.
