I would commend the Sell2Wales dashboard to the Member and to all colleagues as an opportunity to have a really important snapshot of the situation in terms of procurement here in Wales. So, between July and September there were 1,078 contracts awarded to suppliers on that, and of those, 706 were awarded to Welsh suppliers. So, clearly we want to keep improving on those figures, and there are different ways to do that. One of the things I'm particularly interested in, and we've started off a piece of work on it, is better understanding the supply chain voids that we have here in Wales, where we can step into those areas where there's no logical reason why we're purchasing from elsewhere, and to create those jobs here in Wales.

Procurement is about even more than that, really. We're really focused on the social value and the environmental value of procurement. So, we recently published our new social value themes, outcomes and measures, which is an important intervention there, and we've also published a new Wales procurement statement, which sets out the kind of additional value that we want to see brought to our public procurement here in Wales. And we're also looking at our grants, because of course grants outweigh public procurement in many ways in terms of the funding that is allocated through those, so we're looking again at what social value we can be deriving from our grants here in Wales. But it's clearly an area where we both have a shared interest in ensuring that more of these contracts are won by businesses here in Wales.
