Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:49 pm on 2 May 2018.
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'm pleased to share with you all today details of the work undertaken to date by the Public Accounts Committee in relation to public procurement in Wales. The committee agreed to undertake an inquiry, following the publication of the Auditor General for Wales's report on the National Procurement Service—the NPS—on 30 November 2017. This report followed on from a wider review of public procurement in Wales, released in October 2017. During the early stages of that review, some public bodies expressed particular concerns about the development and performance of the NPS. The auditor general's report on NPS considered these issues in more detail.
