## Summary

The Welsh Government has successfully awarded a contract for the "Review of Cultural Infrastructure in Wales," aimed at understanding the physical and digital infrastructure in the culture sector across various public spaces in Wales. This procurement process falls under the 'services' category and was conducted through a limited competition method, being below the threshold for expansive competition. The contract was signed on 12 February 2026, with the performance period extending from 19 February 2026 to 18 May 2027. The development will encompass sectors such as arts, public libraries, museums, archives, and heritage sites managed by Cadw, under the leadership of the Welsh Government's Culture Division located in Cardiff, UK.

This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for firms specialising in research and development services and consultancy related to cultural infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises that focus on providing analytic, strategic, and developmental expertise would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, particularly those capable of delivering evidence-based plans for capital investment in cultural infrastructure. Miller Research, a recognised SME based in Abergavenny, has been awarded this contract, which signals opportunities for consultancies in the sector to expand their reach and contribute to critical governmental projects. Businesses operating within the UK cultural and development sectors are encouraged to position themselves for upcoming tenders in related fields.

For the purposes of this specification, the term 'culture sector' is used to include the arts sector, public libraries, accredited museums, accredited archives, and Cadw-managed heritage sites. These sectors fall under the remit of the Welsh Government's Culture Division and Cadw. The Culture Division will lead on this contract.
