Implementation of the Water Safety & Drowning Prevention Recommendations
Authority: Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionWater is essential for our physical and mental wellbeing; therefore it is important to protect it and the people using it. Wales has seen a substantial growth in outdoor activity, especially within water over recent years.
Data shows that in 2022, there were 26 confirmed fatalities in water in Wales, half did not intend to enter the water. We know there are 2000 annual water-related incidents in Wales requiring emergency response, approximately 5 per day.
The Welsh Government, with Water Safety Wales, aim to award a contract to implement the Petitions Committee report's recommendations, which supports Wales’ Drowning Prevention Strategy. The successful bidder will be awarded an 18-month contract with a one-year extension option valued at approximately GBP200,000 exc. VAT for the initial contract term, and GBP 100,000 exc. VAT if the extension is enacted.
We believe that through cross-departmental collaboration within Welsh Government and between our delivery partners, adopting a Team Wales approach can reduce the number of water-related accidents and fatalities across the country.
We aim to deliver the tender via eTenderWales over Autumn 2023 so please register your interest to bid for tender C019/2023/2024 via this PIN Notice. Please only register if you are interested in bidding.
