Interested suppliers need to submit their electronic bids via the Sell2Wales website by 14:00 on 5th June 2026.

This procurement follows an open competition method, compliant with Welsh devolved regulations, and is below the threshold for high-value contracts. This tender presents significant potential for businesses specialising in motion-picture and video-tape production services, particularly those adept in delivering high-quality digital animations that align with government accessibility standards and branding guidelines. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate, offering an excellent opportunity to engage with a prominent public sector buyer. Successful bidders will not only gain access to a recurring demand for creative assets but also solidify their reputation by collaborating with a key player in Wales's life sciences and innovation sector.
