## Summary

The Welsh Government has recently completed the tendering process for the role of 'Accreditation Support (Mat Leave Cover)' within the museums sector in Wales, under the procurement ID C260/2025/2026. This position was intended to cover a temporary reduction in capacity within the museums development team, offering support until 9 January 2027. The tender falls under the category of services related to library, archives, museums, and other cultural services and employs a limited competition procurement method, conducted below a specified threshold. The contract, valued at £48,000 (gross value £57,600) started on 8 December 2025 and was signed on 5 December 2025. The buying organisation for this tender is the Welsh Government, located in Cardiff, UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in museum support services, particularly those experienced in accreditation processes. With Samuel Rowlands Projects, an SME based in Patchway, successfully awarded the contract, other similar enterprises may consider engaging in future tenders from the Welsh Government for similar projects. Given the focus on advising and mentoring museums, those with expertise in museum management and accreditation will find such opportunities highly attractive. The tender addresses a niche industry, fostering growth opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses with unique skills tailored to cultural and heritage management within Wales.
