Connecting buyers and suppliers across Wales' public sector
Procurex Wales is an annual event, dedicated to helping procurement professionals to achieve better outcomes for their organisations, at the same time as having a positive impact on people and communities right across Wales.
Delivered in association with the Welsh Government and held at Wales’ newest conference and exhibition venue, the 2024 event will showcase opportunities for businesses that are already working with the public sector, and those that are looking to break into new sectors or service areas.
Expert speakers will deliver a series of presentations and interactive workshops covering a range of topics, from driving efficiencies through the use of new technologies and AI, to delivering procurements and contracts that deliver better wellbeing outcomes.
The conference programme runs alongside an exhibition, featuring leading suppliers and service providers from a range of sectors, with a track record of delivering value for public sector organisations.
On 28th October 2024, the changes set out in the Procurement Act 2023 will become law. Attend Procurex Wales 2024 to find out exactly what this means for you as a procurement professional, or an organisation looking to improve the way you sell products and services into public sector organisations.
