## Summary

The Development Bank of Wales, based in Wrexham, has awarded a contract for AI consultancy services, focusing on education and training, to Visvira Limited. The procurement process initially began with tender initiation and culminated in an award on 24 February 2026. The project involves developing AI-enabled workflows to enhance sanction paper production and legal work processing. This contract directly follows preliminary exploratory work conducted by the awarded supplier, Visvira Limited, leveraging their unique understanding of the bank's prior prototypes and operational context.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in AI consultancy, particularly those with experience in legal and financial services. Companies able to provide specialised technical support for AI-integrated solutions can find growth opportunities by collaborating with financial organisations like the Development Bank of Wales. Although Visvira Limited was selected for this contract due to previous contributions to the project's initial phases, similar undertakings could offer fresh prospects for businesses adept at navigating complex integrations and developing AI-driven solutions in the finance sector.

## Notice

DBW has undertaken preliminary exploratory work to create prototype AI-enabled workflows for two high-priority use cases:Sanction Paper ProductionLegal Work ProcessingThis initial discovery and prototyping took place during the previous year and established a foundation for further development. To move from prototype to a fully operational, safe, and repeatable AI-augmented workflow, specialist technical support is required.The provider being considered for direct award has already undertaken the initial prototyping work. They therefore hold unique understanding of DBW's operational context, data structures, previous iterations, and risk-control expectations.Re-running a competitive process would introduce unnecessary delay, duplication of effort, increased cost, and operational risk, given the requirement to build directly on the previous prototyping phase.
