## Summary

South East Wales Corporate Joint Committee commissioned Tramshed Tech Limited to deliver Cohort 2 of the Venture Into Innovation Programme. The service builds on learning from the first cohort and is designed to support innovation through a structured programme of 12 sessions, pre-programme onboarding, an accredited Level 3 Encouraging Innovation qualification, targeted engagement with Investment Zone clusters and a four-stage outcomes framework. This is a programme delivery and innovation-support service, classified as research and development and related consultancy. The work is for the Corporate Joint Committee and is delivered in South East Wales. Its focus combines participant development, accredited learning and links to investment-related clusters, with outcomes tracked through a defined framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Tramshed Tech Limited. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The single lot covered delivery of the full programme. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £52,600 excluding VAT and £62,120 including VAT. The funded cohort is described as running from September 2026 to February 2027. The award is active and the contract is active. No separate evaluation criteria are reported for this direct award.

For suppliers interested in future innovation-programme work with South East Wales Corporate Joint Committee, this award indicates demand for an integrated programme rather than a standalone training course. A credible provider would need to design and deliver a multi-session cohort, organise onboarding, deliver or support a Level 3 accredited qualification in encouraging innovation, and target participants connected to Investment Zone clusters. The requirement also points to the value of building on prior cohort learning and providing a clear outcomes framework across several stages. Providers combining programme management, innovation expertise, accredited learning delivery and relationships with relevant regional clusters are best aligned with this type of work. The completed award offers a reference point for the scope and delivery model the buyer selected.

## Notice

The contract relates to the appointment of a contractor to undertake funding Cohort 2, running September 2026 to February 2027. Building directly on the evidence and learning from Cohort 1, Cohort 2 is a strengthened and more strategic programme: 12 sessions, a pre-programme onboarding plan, Level 3 Encouraging Innovation accredited qualification, deliberate Investment Zone cluster targeting and a robust four-stage outcomes framework.
