## Summary

The Welsh Government has initiated an open procedure procurement process under the title "WGCD Meter Operator Provider Services Framework," aimed at engaging services related to the repair and maintenance of electricity meters. This framework supports the Welsh public sector, encompassing organisations throughout Wales. The procurement process covered several stages, including planning as of January 2026, tender stage by February 2026, and finalised awards by March 2026. In April 2026, contracts were awarded to Stark Software International Limited for both North and South Wales regions, each with a gross value of £500,000. This project falls under the services category with electricity distribution and related services as its industry classification, and it aims for a framework agreement without reopening competition for four years, from April 2026 to March 2030.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for companies skilled in electricity meter repair and maintenance, especially those that can provide smart meter transition support and additional services like sub-metering. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) residing within the UK are particularly well-positioned to provide these services, given the tender’s emphasis on inclusivity of SMEs. By participating in such a framework, businesses not only secure steady contractual work but also position themselves as key players in supporting Wales's public sector with essential utility services. Furthermore, the flexibility provided for customers to select preferred suppliers and the robust budget ensure profitable and sustainable engagement for businesses catering to specific regions within Wales.
