Public Sector Procurement: Guidance Page

Funded by the Welsh Government, WRAP Cymru has been providing free sustainable procurement support to public sector organisations in Wales since 2016.

The Welsh public sector spends approximately £8billion each year on goods and services. As such, there is significant opportunity for public bodies to use procurement to achieve positive environmental, economic and social outcomes, as set out in the WFG Act.
