Social Firms Wales to Champion Inclusive Procurement at Procurex Wales 2026

Join us at Procurex Wales 2026 on Wednesday 11 November at Utilita Arena Cardiff.

Social Firms Wales is proud to be joining Procurex Wales 2026 on Wednesday 11 November at Utilita Arena Cardiff — Wales' leading public procurement event, delivered in partnership with the Welsh Government.

Come and find us on the exhibition floor to say hello!

We will be present throughout the event to promote the role of social firms and social enterprise within public sector supply chains and highlight the growing importance of social value in procurement.

The Opportunity for Social Firms

Public procurement represents one of the most significant opportunities for social firms and social entrepreneurs. As public bodies increasingly seek suppliers that can demonstrate social value, community benefit and ethical business practices, social firms and social enterprises are well placed to meet these expectations while delivering high-quality products and services.

Procurex Wales is a major event in Wales and brings together buyers, suppliers, policy makers, commissioners and sector leaders from across health, local government, education and national organisations.

The event provides valuable opportunities for networking, learning and exploring routes into public sector tendering.

Visit the Social Firms Wales Stand

Visitors to the Social Firms Wales stand will be able to learn more about:

  • The contribution social firms make to local communities across Wales.
  • How social enterprises can access public sector procurement opportunities.
  • The importance of embedding social value within commissioning and purchasing decisions.
  • Practical support available for organisations seeking to enter public sector supply chains.

“Public procurement has the power to create meaningful social impact alongside delivering services and value for money. Social firms are uniquely positioned to support public bodies in achieving their social value goals while creating employment opportunities, supporting disadvantaged communities, and strengthening the Welsh economy.

We are delighted to be exhibiting at Procurex Wales and look forward to connecting with procurement professionals and suppliers from across the country.”

Rosie Cribb, CEO of Social Firms Wales
