SOCIAL PARTNERSHIP AND PUBLIC PROCUREMENT (WALES) ACT 2023

The Minister for Culture, Skills and Social Partnership has launched the public consultation on draft model clauses for major construction contracts under the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023.

This consultation provides stakeholders with an important opportunity to comment on the draft model Social Public Works Clauses. Views are sought on whether the draft model Social Public Works Clauses accurately reflect the policy intent, which is settled and grounded in the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act.

We particularly encourage responses from contracting authorities listed in Schedule 1 of the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023, as well as suppliers to the public sector and others with an interest in the Act, the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and procurement more broadly.
