## Summary

The recent contracting process involves the Welsh Government, headquartered in Cardiff, undertaking a project titled "Innovation Strategy Scoping Study" within the services industry category, specifically focusing on research and consultancy services. The procurement process has advanced to the award stage as of July 2025, with the contract signed on 13th May 2025. The aim of this study is pivotal in preparing for future evaluations of the "Wales Innovates" strategy, outlined earlier this year. The awarded project is situated at Cathays Park and underscores the Welsh Government's commitment to enhancing strategic implementation and impact within their innovation framework.

The tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research, social research, and evaluation consultancy services. Miller Research (UK) Ltd, a consultancy based in Abergavenny, has been awarded the contract valued at £84,950. This opportunity beckons businesses adept in offering robust evaluation and strategic analysis to participate in similar future endeavours. Companies poised with expertise in consultancy and research services, especially those familiar with innovative strategic initiatives, stand a good chance to thrive in such procurement processes, facilitating growth and expansion within the sector.

## Notice

Welsh Government published its Innovation Strategy, Wales Innovates, in February 2023 and its subsequent delivery plan in October 2023. A commitment was made in Wales Innovates to undertake evaluations at years three and five to explore strategy implementation, progress and impacts. Due to the breadth and complexity of Wales Innovates, a scoping study is required in preparation for the year 3 and year 5 evaluations. The aim of the scoping study is to articulate the theory, assumptions, evidence and readiness underpinning Wales Innovates and to use this information to develop recommendations for a robust evaluation programme.
