Welsh procurement policy note (WPPN 01/21\) on sourcing steel in major construction and infrastructure projects in Wales
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Welsh Government has published a Welsh procurement policy note (WPPN 01/21\) on sourcing steel in major construction and infrastructure projects in Wales. This WPPN addresses public procurement actions to support the strategically important steel sector in the UK. It provides guidance to contracting authorities on how to use the procurement life cycle to identify any opportunity to support the UK steel industry, to maximise the socio economic and environmental impact of the contract delivered.


WPPN 01/21 replaces a previous procurement advice note published in 2018\.


Procurement policy note (PPN 01/21\): Procurement in an emergency
-----------------------------------------------------------------


Procurement policy note (PPN 01/21\) from the UK government, reminds contracting authorities of the options available to them when undertaking procurements in an emergency. This includes extremely urgent procurements required by the ongoing response to the COVID\-19 pandemic. This PPN builds on the guidance in ‘PPN 01/20 \- Responding to COVID\-19’. It includes further information on the commercial risks inherent in direct awards without competition.


This PPN is being adopted by the Welsh Government and we encourage the Welsh public sector to do the same.


Please note that WPPN 03/20 is the Welsh equivalent of PPN 08/20 from the UK government.

Procurement policy note 11/20: Reserving below threshold procurements
---------------------------------------------------------------------


Procurement policy note (PPN) 11/20 from the UK government, sets out the options that may be considered by contracting authorities when procuring contracts for goods, services and works with a value below the applicable thresholds.


We are adopting the PPN and encourage the Welsh public sector to do likewise. We are considering whether the scope of the PPN can be extended for Wales which would require us to publish a WPPN.
