Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-0376e8

Description

A report 'Procuring well-being in Wales' was published by the Future Generations Commissioner (FGC) for Wales. One of the key

recommendations from this report was to establish a Procurement Centre of Excellence (PCoE).

The, then, Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport also commissioned a procurement expert panel to produce a paper on the

development of a PCoE.

Following the above reports a Discovery exercise was undertaken to determine the need and scope of a potential PCoE.

The objective of this procurement is is assist in the establishment of a PCoE, which will:

a) support commercial and procurement professionals in Wales better to understand and implement policy through their work;

b) build commercial and procurement capability through a comprehensive skills programme and develop a pipeline of talent for

organisations; and

c) make good practice easily available and join up people and organisations to share knowledge and experience through communities of

practice.

The project will be delivered over 2 phases:

a) Alpha phase, on a fixed price basis; and

b) Beta phase, on a time and materials basis. Resource requirements and timeframes for Beta will be determined in Alpha.
