## Summary

Natural Resources Wales commissioned services for the Taff Catchment Partnership. The requirement is for research, development and related consultancy services supporting work connected with the Taff catchment. The buyer is Natural Resources Wales, a Welsh public authority based in Cardiff. Delivery is in Wales. The procurement is service-based rather than for physical goods or construction, and is relevant to consultancies, independent advisers and organisations providing research, development or partnership-support services in environmental or catchment contexts. The published scope identifies the requirement as “CDN for Taff Catchment Partnership”, with the underlying service classification covering research and development consultancy. The work is associated with one complete requirement rather than a multi-lot programme.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Natural Resources Wales used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. The awarded supplier is Dafydd Thomas as the Wellbeing Planner. The contract value is £33,000 excluding VAT, or £39,600 including VAT. The award is for research and development services and related consultancy supporting the Taff Catchment Partnership, delivered in Wales. The contract is active and the procurement was below the applicable threshold. The available outcome records identify one award and one contract, with the supplier selected through the limited competition route.

This procurement is useful market evidence for consultancies and advisers working in research, development and partnership-based environmental services. A credible competitor for similar work would need to show that it can support a catchment partnership with practical consultancy, research and development capability, rather than supply goods or undertake construction. Experience of coordinating or contributing to partnership activity in Wales would be relevant, as would the capacity to deliver services across the required geography. The selected supplier, Dafydd Thomas as the Wellbeing Planner, indicates that the buyer accepted a consultancy-led delivery model. Organisations with comparable specialist expertise, a clear service approach and the ability to work with public-sector partnerships are the closest commercial peers.
