## Summary

The procurement process for this contract was initiated by Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, focusing on the incorporation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRDP) into Welsh law. The project involves developing legislative options to enhance human rights in Wales. The buying organisation operates from Cardiff and this procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting social research services. This process reached the award stage, with a contract awarded to WCVA, an SME based in Cardiff. The contract, valued at £99,000, commenced on 1st April 2025 and will conclude on 31st December 2025. The procurement method utilised was direct procurement, below the threshold and without competition.

This tender offers considerable growth opportunities for businesses specialising in legal consulting, human rights advocacy, and social research services. SMEs with expertise in analysing legislative frameworks or developing policy options would find themselves well-suited to contribute to this initiative. The absence of a competitive bidding process underscores the value placed on specialised knowledge and established relationships, favourably positioning organisations that can offer innovative solutions to complex human rights issues within the devolved context of Welsh law. Such opportunities are pivotal for companies aiming to establish or expand their influence in government sectors focusing on legislative advancements and human rights protections.
