## Summary

The public procurement process undertaken by Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC involves the provision of drug, alcohol, and DNA testing services to its Children's Services Department. The contract, identified by tender ID ECM120519, falls under the health and social work services category and is governed by Welsh devolved regulations. This procurement, now in the award stage, commenced with the procurement method below the competition threshold, using a direct approach under a "light touch" regime. Localised to the UKL15 region in Pontypridd, the contract period spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with DNA Legal, a Frome-based SME, awarded the contract on 24th March 2025 for a total gross amount of GBP 47,999.97.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those skilled in delivering testing services. SMEs like DNA Legal, which can provide efficient and reliable drug, alcohol, and DNA testing, stand to profit in this sector by cultivating partnerships with public authorities. The choice for a direct procurement method highlights a niche opportunity for businesses familiar with the specific requirements governing such government contracts, without the competitive pressures of a traditional tendering process. Engaging in this space can position businesses for future collaborations with entities similar to Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC.
