Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd – in the Senedd at 1:57 pm on 3 April 2019.
We recognise that small companies can often struggle to bid for large contracts, and that's why I'm really pleased that, as of March, 31 per cent of contracts that were published on Sell2Wales this year were advertised as being suitable for joint bidding, and I think that's a really important way of supporting small local companies to bid into those contracts. And we are seeing some of those positive impacts in the construction sector, where 78 per cent of contracts or frameworks over £750,000 advertised via Sell2Wales have been awarded to Welsh contractors this year.
