## Summary

The Welsh Government (Llywodraeth Cymru) has initiated a planned procurement process for the "Wales Sanctuary Service," which focuses on delivering advice and advocacy services for individuals seeking sanctuary across Wales. This procurement is in the "planning" stage, with key details outlined in a pipeline notice. The procurement is valued at GBP 4,500,000 gross and falls under the "health and social work services" category. The service is planned to commence on 1 April 2027 and conclude on 31 March 2031. This opportunity is centred in the United Kingdom and offers significant scope for service providers in the procurement of critical support services, with a future notice scheduled for 1 September 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for market engagement, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of delivering health and social work services. Given the nature of the service, organisations specialising in advocacy, advisory services, and support for sanctuary seekers would find this procurement especially relevant for business expansion and the strengthening of their service portfolios. The Welsh Government’s commitment to applying Welsh devolved regulations highlights potential strategic engagements for businesses looking to establish or grow their presence in the regional public service landscape.
