QNR – in the Senedd on 6 March 2019.
The Deputy Minister and Chief Whip has written to all Ministers and Deputy Ministers in relation to using the Act to innovate, driving better, long-term decisions. Last month, I met the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales to discuss what further steps we can take in relation to the budget process.
Three projects from round 1 of the scheme have now reached the implementation phase. The second round of innovate-to-save is also progressing well, with seven projects now going through to the second research and development phase of the scheme.
Welsh Government issues consistent procurement guidance across the public sector and will be providing additional support in key sectors such as social care and construction to drive up consistency and capability in these important areas.
