Public Procurement in Wales: Navigating Supply Chain Challenges and Building Stronger Relationships

Simon Brindle & Amy Dietrich

Welsh Government

As Wales prepares for Procurex Wales 2025, the public procurement landscape is evolving in response to shifting global and domestic pressures. From the impact of geopolitical change on supply chains to the increasing focus on collaboration between buyers and suppliers, organisations must adapt quickly to thrive in a complex and uncertain environment.

This free webinar, brought to you in association with Tracker Intelligence and Procurex Wales, will provide suppliers with exclusive insights from two of the Welsh Government’s most senior commercial leaders: Simon Brindle, Director of Commercial and Procurement, and Amy Dietrich – Deputy Director of Procurement, Welsh Government. Both speakers will be contributing to high-profile panel sessions at Procurex Wales, and this webinar offers an opportunity to preview the themes and practical advice they will be sharing at the event itself.

This webinar will explore two pressing issues. First, how procurement strategies can be shaped to withstand the uncertainties of a changing political and economic landscape – globally and nationally – including disruption to trade, supply chains, and market access. Second, how stronger buyer–supplier relationships can be built in Wales to improve outcomes, encourage innovation, and create more resilient partnerships across the public sector supply chain.
For suppliers already operating in Wales, or those seeking to enter the market, this session will provide essential context, guidance, and practical steps to help them succeed.

By attending you will:
• Understand how political and economic shifts are influencing procurement in Wales
• Learn practical strategies for resilience and adaptability in the face of supply chain uncertainty
• Explore how stronger buyer–supplier relationships can reduce risk, improve delivery, and encourage innovation
• Gain exclusive insights from senior Welsh Government procurement leaders ahead of Procurex Wales 2025
• Identify relevant opportunities
