Why Procurex Matters for Social Firms
Public procurement continues to be one of the biggest opportunities for social firms and social entrepreneurs across Wales. With increasing emphasis on social value, community benefit, and ethical supply chains, social firms are uniquely placed to meet what buyers are now actively looking for.
Procurex Wales is the largest annual event dedicated to public sector procurement. It brings together buyers, suppliers, policy leads, and organisations working across health, local government, education, and national bodies. For social firms, it’s a chance to understand the landscape, make new connections, and explore routes into tendering.
