With that in mind, I particularly welcome the aspect that supports local small and medium-sized enterprises to bid for public sector procurement contracts. Caerphilly County Borough Council piloted a project for local SMEs to bid for contracts as part of the Welsh housing quality standard programme, and it brought together four SMEs who worked together to deliver an external refurbishment package worth £1.2 million.

The work was successfully completed, but the council was disappointed that the consortium of SMEs broke down soon afterwards, and then were unable to further bid for contracts that were in infancy. So, the concern that the council has is that there's limited support to help those small firms continue to work together. So, can the First Minister tell us what further support can be made available to insist and encourage such relationships in the future and how that then will be embedded in the economic plan?
