The project falls under the services category, specifically within business services such as consulting, and is aligned with the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund. The buying organisation, located at the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells, aims to complete the feasibility studies by February 2026. The procurement is at the award stage, with Owen Davies Consulting Ltd selected as the supplier. The contracting process employed an open procurement method, ensuring a competitive and transparent selection process. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses skilled in consulting, particularly those with experience in retail and hospitality feasibility studies or agricultural facility development.

Engaging in this project can enhance business profiles, expand networks, and provide valuable partnerships with the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society. ## Notice The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society (RWAS) seeks consultancy support to undertake comprehensive feasibility studies for two priority projects identified in the 2023 Royal Welsh Showground Vision & Masterplan.
