This initiative aims to aid local food producers and suppliers in Wales by facilitating access to public sector food opportunities through essential food safety accreditation. The procurement activity is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 20 January 2022. Interested businesses must operate within the food and drink sector and have a presence primarily in Wales, as the initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the Welsh food supply chain. This tender presents significant growth prospects for local food and drink enterprises, particularly small to medium-sized businesses that meet the eligibility criteria. By obtaining the necessary accreditations, these businesses can enhance their competitiveness within public sector procurement, ultimately increasing their market presence both locally and beyond. Producers involved in creating non-alcoholic edible goods will find this opportunity aligns with their operational goals and can potentially establish a firmer foothold in the public procurement landscape. ## Notice The Welsh Government want to support local food producers / suppliers and make it easier for them to access public sector food supply chain opportunities by having the necessary food safety accreditation. In addition, they want to:- increase the amount of Welsh food on "public plates", shortening supply chains to reduce carbon emissions- increase the number of grounded food suppliers in Wales and establish a firm base of medium sized Welsh firms which are capable of selling outside of Wales but have decision making rooted firmly in our communitiesMenter a Busnes, operating on behalf of the Welsh Government is administering a grant scheme to assist food and drink producers to obtain and maintain accreditations that will enhance the competitiveness of the Welsh Food and Drink sector, particularly in terms of public sector procurement and associated supply chains.This scheme is part of the Backing Local Firms fund, a Programme for Government commitment run by the Foundational Economy division, aimed at helping Welsh SMEs overcome the barriers they face when doing business with the public sector.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=116905.The buyer has indicated that it will accept electronic responses to this notice via the Postbox facility.
