Welsh Government gives update on procurement reform

The Welsh Government has published up update of reforms to procurement legislation.

The statement says: "As the Procurement Bill gets closer to achieving Royal Assent, the evolution in procurement legislation will require colleagues across the Welsh public sector to do things differently. The upcoming changes will not only affect procurement and commercial teams, they will drive behavioural and cultural change across the organisation to improve the way contracts for goods, services and works are procured. To help contracting authorities across Wales get ready for the new rules, we have updated the pre-implementation checklist that we previously published in October last year."

The checklist is available on the Procurement Reform section on Sell2Wales and dentifies potential areas that contracting authorities should start thinking about now.

Those working in public sector procurement are urged to familiarise themselves with the content and share it with colleagues.
