    Brief

    The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) is directly awarding a continuation contract to Bridewell Consulting Ltd to support implementation of the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) across Welsh local government and Fire and Rescue Services. This contract extends existing work to help organisations assess and improve their cyber resilience through assessment activities, quality reviews, critical system mapping, and improvement planning. The direct award is justified due to the supplier's deep programme knowledge, established methodologies, and sector-specific tools that cannot be easily transferred. A change of supplier would create technical incompatibilities, disrupt participating organisations, introduce cyber security risks through loss of critical context, and delay important resilience improvements. The current supplier uniquely understands each organisation's maturity level, system dependencies, and programme governance, making continuity essential for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of this national cyber resilience programme.
