## Summary

Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government has awarded a contract for the historic paint analysis of interior decorations at Castell Coch. This procurement process, under the direct award method, concluded on 8th December 2025 and was detailed with a contract signing on the same day. The process fits into the service category, specifically preservation services of historical buildings as per the CPV classification. Hailing from Cardiff, the procurement falls under the jurisdiction of Welsh devolved regulations and does not exceed the monetary threshold, making the method used appropriate for the specific requirements. The project is set to commence on 15th December 2025 and complete by 14th December 2026.

This tender offers a unique business growth opportunity, particularly for specialists in historic building conservation and preservation services. Lisa Oestreicher, an SME situated in Bath, has been awarded the contract, signifying opportunities for small to medium enterprises with niche expertise and previous project continuity with Cadw. Businesses operating within or looking to expand into the realm of historical building preservation will find opportunities in similar government projects which often require specific expertise and prior experience. The direct award highlights the value placed on established methodology and familiarity with the site, demonstrating an area ripe for professionals confident in navigating the constraints of such specialised conservation efforts.

## Notice

Award of a contract for the paint analysis of all interior decoration at Castell Coch in preparation for a larger conservation contract. A direct award is being made as the supplier noted in this notice has previously carried out a smaller analysis project which included developing a methodology for this work. Therefore it is Cadw's opinion that it would not be practical or demonstrate vfm for any other specialist to undertake this work owing to the supplier's unique understanding and familiarity with the monument.
