Sell2Wales

Wales' official procurement portal where public sector organisations advertise contract opportunities and suppliers register to bid for Welsh public sector contracts.

How it works

Sell2Wales serves as the central procurement portal for Welsh public sector organisations, including councils, health boards, government departments, and other public bodies. Suppliers must register on the platform to access tender opportunities, submit bids, and communicate with contracting authorities throughout the procurement process.

The portal hosts contract notices above and below EU thresholds, from small local services to major infrastructure projects. It provides search functionality allowing suppliers to filter opportunities by sector, value, location, and procurement stage. Registered users receive email alerts for relevant opportunities matching their business profiles.

Key features

The system integrates with the UK's Find a Tender service (FTS) to ensure compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Contract notices published on Sell2Wales automatically appear on FTS when they meet publication thresholds.

Suppliers can create detailed company profiles showcasing their capabilities, certifications, and previous experience. The portal supports document uploads, electronic bid submissions, and secure messaging between buyers and suppliers during the tender process.

Why it matters

Sell2Wales centralises Welsh public procurement, making it easier for local suppliers to identify opportunities and for public bodies to reach a broad supplier base. This supports the Welsh Government's commitment to maximising local economic benefits from public spending.

The platform promotes transparency by providing a single point of access to Welsh public sector opportunities, while streamlining the procurement process for both buyers and suppliers. It particularly benefits SMEs by reducing barriers to participation in public sector contracting.
