The procurement process was categorised under general public services and involved services procurement using an open procedure. The procurement region is UKL, targeting local authorities across Wales, with the main contracting authority being located in Cardiff. The process reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 10th June 2025. Noteworthy milestones included the preparation of the training schedule by December 2025, with the programme's delivery spanning three years. The initiative was part of a broader objective to ensure culturally appropriate accommodation is available for these communities. The tender was successfully awarded to Taye Training and Consultancy Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise from Leeds, under contract reference number ocds-kuma6s-148227-tender-152149-C203/2024/2025. This contract presents significant opportunities for growth within the consultancy and training sectors, particularly those specialising in cultural competence and community engagement. Businesses that are adept at working closely with minority communities, and have expert knowledge or experience related to Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller cultures, stand to benefit from such procurement opportunities. Furthermore, entities capable of coordinating extensive training programmes and tailoring them to specific cultural needs would find this contract enriching. SMEs can leverage this opportunity to expand their expertise, increase their reach, and build stronger relations within public sector frameworks. The open procurement method adopted ensured fair competition, encouraging both local and national entities to submit their bids. ## Notice Welsh Government aims to procure a single supplier to design and deliver a comprehensive and up to date Gypsy, Roma and Traveller training package to deliver to local authorities across Wales.

Part of this goal is the action to: "Procure a framework for an external training company to develop and deliver a training course to upskill all 22 local authorities in Wales on Gypsy, Roma and Travellers nomadic ways of living". To fulfil this action, the Client is looking to procure an external organisation over a 4-year contract to: 1) Design and develop a national training package on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities in Wales. 2) Deliver and evaluate a bespoke national training schedule to all 22 local authorities across Wales on a rolling basis. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=148227 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jun 2025 | | Submission deadline | 3 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Jun 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £370,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £341,600 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LLYWODRAETH CYMRU / WELSH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | CAERDYDD / CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 3NQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TAYE TRAINING AND CONSULTANCY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 72212931 - Training software development services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80520000 - Training facilities - 80521000 - Training programme services - 80522000 - Training seminars ## Release History - 11 Jun 2025 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=148227 - 2 Apr 2025 at 00:00 - TenderUpdate - OJEU - F14 - Corrigendum - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=148227 - 19 Feb 2025 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=148227 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB497761 Gypsy Roma Traveller: Development and delivery of all-Wales training programme to local authorities - Welsh Government aims to procure a single supplier to design and deliver a comprehensive and up to date Gypsy, Roma and Traveller training package to deliver to local authorities across Wales.
