## Summary

The Trade Survey for Wales project was recently commissioned by the Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, focusing on research services. This involves the execution of fieldwork and related tasks, including cognitive testing, a pilot, and a full year of fieldwork aimed at gathering data for the fiscal years 2025/2026 and 2026/2027. The procurement process has advanced to the award stage, with IFF Research Ltd being awarded the contract. Based in Cardiff, this procurement falls within the services category and employs a limited procurement method, which indicates an award procedure conducted without prior publication of a call for competition. The entire contract is valued at £539,038 and was signed on 3rd November 2025.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in fieldwork and research services. Businesses well-versed in managing project timelines, delivering robust data validation, and conducting detailed survey analyses stand to benefit significantly. The procurement being administered through a mini-competition under the CCS Research & Insights DPS allows for participatory opportunities for over 500 suppliers, enhancing competition and potentially broadening market opportunities. The limited procurement nature and location-specific focus on Wales can provide a strategic advantage for organisations familiar with local market nuances and adept at integrating into government frameworks.
