This initiative is in the public services industry category, specifically concerning training and education services. Located in Cardiff, this process involves preliminary market engagement, with key dates including the submission deadline for responses to the market engagement questionnaire by 5th August 2026. The contracting authority, identified as a sub-central government public authority following Welsh devolved regulations, aims to gather insights to shape a future procurement strategy, indicating a framework agreement approach. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in training services and those able to offer innovative solutions in office management training for public sector officials. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, reflecting the inclusive procurement strategy adopted by the Welsh Parliament. The project has a significant financial scope, with a planned contract period from December 2026 through June 2030, offering sustainable business growth prospects for those capable of aligning with the expected delivery approach and commercial model. Engaging businesses early in the planning phase provides a competitive edge in providing insights that inform the final tender scope and structure. ## Notice The Welsh Parliament, Senedd Cymru, is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform the potential future procurement of a Managing an Office Training Framework for Members of the Senedd and their staff.
