How Wales buys, and who buys
Welsh buyers procure under the Procurement Act with a stronger social-value and Well-being of Future Generations overlay. Sell2Wales (GwerthwchiGymru) is the national advertising portal for Welsh public-sector work - including much below-threshold council work - while above-threshold notices also flow through Find a Tender, the UK-wide service. Collaborative frameworks for the 22 councils, NHS Wales and the wider public sector are led by Welsh Government Commercial Delivery (the work formerly carried by the National Procurement Service) alongside local government.
Welsh contracts therefore reward suppliers who can evidence local economic and social benefit, not just price. Pairing Sell2Wales and a watch on Find a Tender for the larger work with attention to the collaborative frameworks that serve Welsh buyers gives a realistic picture of the market without relying on any single portal.

Portals & frameworks that serve Wales
The smallest work often never reaches a national portal at all, living instead as invitation-only quick quotes on the regional systems. We watch every source so Wales notices reach you in one place, not one portal at a time.

Social value Wales buyers reward
Public buyers here often score social value at 10-30% of the marks. The priorities that recur across Wales:
- Well-being of Future Generations goals - social value in Wales is framed around the seven statutory well-being goals (prosperous, resilient, healthier, more equal, cohesive communities, vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language, globally responsible), not the England Social Value Model. Buyers want to see how your work moves these goals.
- Fair Work and the real Living Wage - the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023 and Welsh Fair Work agenda put paying the real Living Wage (accredited), secure hours, union access, apprenticeships and progression at the front of what buyers reward. This is a stronger, more explicit Wales priority than most of England.
- Local employment and community benefits (Targeted Recruitment and Training) - recruiting and training local unemployed people, 16-24 NEETs, apprentices and work placements on the contract, recorded through the community benefits approach. This is the oldest and most consistently-scored Welsh social value ask.
Quick wins you can commit to
- Become an accredited real Living Wage employer (or commit to paying it on the contract) and state your Fair Work practices - secure hours, staff training, apprenticeship or progression routes. This is one of the highest-value, most distinctively-Welsh commitments and is easy for a small firm to evidence with an accreditation certificate or pay policy.
- Commit to specific, numbered local employment and Targeted Recruitment and Training outcomes on the contract - e.g. 'we will take on one local apprentice', 'X hours of work experience for a NEET or long-term unemployed person', or a named local school/college engagement. Record it through the Welsh community benefits measurement tool so the buyer can report it.
- Show local and foundational-economy spend - name the Wales-based suppliers, SMEs, social enterprises or third-sector partners you will buy from, and give a rough percentage of contract spend staying in the local Welsh economy. Buyers explicitly want money circulating locally.
On any live tender, BidSquirrel writes your social value in the buyer's own framework and scoring style, tuned to what they reward. See your matches free.

See what you could winWales tenders: common questions
Where are Wales public sector tenders advertised?
Above-threshold contracts in Wales are published on Find a Tender, while below-threshold and council work is spread across Sell2Wales (GwerthwchiGymru), Find a Tender (above threshold), Welsh Government Commercial Delivery (formerly NPS). BidSquirrel watches these major sources and brings Wales notices into one feed, each scored to your business.
How do I find low-value council work in Wales?
Much of the low-value local-authority work in Wales never reaches a national portal - it lives as quick quotes on Sell2Wales. You have to be registered with your categories set, or use a tool like BidSquirrel that monitors the major sources for you.
Can BidSquirrel match Wales tenders to my business?
Yes. BidSquirrel scores live Wales tenders against your business, scale and location, gives a strong, fair or development verdict with the reasoning, and checks whether you are even eligible before you commit time to a bid.
