Focus Area 4 is about awarding bodies becoming more proactive in their approach and engaging more and earlier with their centres, seeking opportunities in the market for more Welsh-medium qualification, and encouraging take up of those qualifications.This proactive approach is known as 'the Active Offer' which was first introduced in the NHS in Wales and since adopted across the public sector in Wales.

This is the opposite to a cycle of perceived no or low demand, leading to no change in supply, without anybody asking or nurturing that demand.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=116735.The buyer has indicated that it will accept electronic responses to this notice via the Postbox facility.
