## Summary

The City & County of Swansea has awarded a contract for the WNT Studio Welsh National Service, a six-week in-house residency taking place at the Civic Centre in Swansea. This project, supported by SPF funding, aims to pilot a scalable residency model bringing together various creative talents, including actors, writers, directors, and other support staff, to collaborate on Welsh writing. The procurement process was conducted through a direct method below the threshold without competition, concluding with the award on 19 December 2025. The primary industry category is artistic services, under CPV code 92312000, and the contract was signed on 21 November 2025, with a project period from 21 November to 5 December 2025.
