## Summary

The procurement process for the "Post Excavation Reporting at Harlech Castle," managed by the Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, falls under the direct procurement method without competition. The assigned industry category is archaeological services, specifically classified under CPV 71351914. This contract is geographically situated in the UK region, with services offered in Cardiff and delivery in the United Kingdom. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 25th June 2025, and it is operational from 26th June 2025 to 25th August 2025.

This tender presents opportunities particularly for businesses involved in post-excavation archaeological analysis and reporting. Given that the task involves specific knowledge of prior excavation work, businesses with historical records and expertise in archaeological data management are exceptionally well-suited to contribute. The opportunity is most relevant for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) like Archaeology Wales Ltd, which has been identified as the supplier following the absence of a competitive bidding process, utilising their prior involvement and possession of required excavation records. For firms looking to engage in government contracts, partnering with main contractors or leveraging unique expertise can open doors to similar non-competitive award scenarios.
