Supply Chain Innovation Zone
Early engagement between buyers and suppliers allows for the efficient and effective delivery of procurement services.
The Social Partnership and Public Procurement Act will have a significant impact on the procurement process and early engagement can help to prepare for the new requirements, reduce barriers and enable greater participation for SMEs.
Innovation within the supply chain will also be key to achieving the procurement ambitions of the Welsh Government.
The Supply Chain Innovation Zone will provide attendees with the opportunity to hear from Wales’ key procurement decision makers on how buyers and suppliers can engage effectively with each other, develop innovative and consistent processes, and enable more organisations to participate in the procurement process.
