## Summary

Cwmpas, based in Cardiff, has awarded a contract for the provision of Business Planning, Financial Forecasting, Review and Assessment Support within the services industry category. The awarded supplier is Gareth Kiddie Associates, based in Barry. This contract, active as of 1st April 2025, forms part of a framework agreement designed to support various projects funded by governments and local authorities. The framework will run for three years with a possible extension of one year, where services will be delivered both physically and virtually, favouring a 75% virtual delivery model. The procurement process followed an open method, thorough evaluation, and competitive bidding, culminating in 18 bids submitted by the tender deadline of 14th February 2025.

The initiative aligns with the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act, striving for sustainability and virtual service delivery, which can be advantageous for businesses adept in remote consultancy. Companies meeting stringent criteria in terms of practical and credible approaches stand to benefit from the framework's diverse engagement opportunities with public sector clients.
