Exciting opportunities are on the horizon for food and drink producers in Wales, as a series of workshops aim to unlock access to public sector supply chains. These events focus on strengthening local supply chains, promoting sustainability, and fostering collaboration between producers and public sector organizations.
The initiative begins with a virtual workshop on January 22, highlighting the importance of social value in public sector procurement. This session will guide producers on aligning their contributions with broader community and environmental goals, maximizing their impact.
An interactive presentation on January 28 will explore supply chain dynamics within the Welsh public sector, particularly in healthcare. Attendees will gain insights into navigating frameworks and tendering processes, equipping them for success in procurement opportunities.
On February 11, a session will focus on the advantages of joint bidding for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This workshop will showcase how collaboration among producers can unlock access to larger contracts, fostering growth and innovation within the supply chain.
The workshops emphasize the value of integrating locally sourced goods into public sector supply chains. Doing so reduces carbon footprints, supports regional economies, creates jobs, and provides fresher, more nutritious options for public sector operations.
Recent initiatives in Wales have demonstrated the benefits of prioritizing local products, with shorter supply chains contributing to sustainability, profitability, and net-zero goals. Schools and other public sector organizations have already made strides in these areas, showcasing the potential for transformative change.
These sessions offer a unique opportunity for producers, distributors, and public sector organizations in Wales to collaborate toward a shared vision of a resilient and sustainable supply chain. By fostering partnerships and innovation, the workshops aim to create a positive impact on the food sector across the nation.
