    Brief

    The Development Bank of Wales is seeking an economic consultancy or research provider to conduct an independent review of Wales' business finance market. This pre-market engagement notice invites suppliers to register interest and demonstrate capability before a formal tender is issued. The assignment will assess how well current public, private, and alternative financing options meet the needs of Welsh businesses, identify gaps and constraints, and provide evidence-based recommendations for policymakers. Phase 1 will include market mapping, supply-demand analysis, gap assessment, and policy implications. Future phases may explore venture capital, scale-up finance, succession planning, property finance, and infrastructure financing. Ideal suppliers should have strong expertise in economic research, SME finance, or regional development; deep knowledge of the Welsh business landscape; ability to analyze finance provision across sectors; and skills in stakeholder engagement and producing policy-ready outputs for senior audiences. The estimated maximum contract value covers Phase 1 and potential future work packages. The initial phase scope and budget will be confirmed following market testing. This is a pre-tender notice to gauge supplier interest and capability; it is not a formal invitation to bid.
