## Summary

The procurement process conducted by Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government has reached the award stage for the project entitled "Timber Supply Chain - Innovation and Resilience", under the category of services. This procurement initiative, held in Cardiff, seeks to advance the aims of the Welsh Government’s Timber Industrial Strategy, “Making Wood Work for Wales”. Key objectives include fostering collaboration across sectors, improving timber supply intelligence, and supporting small to medium-sized sawmills. The contract, valued at £103,497.8, was awarded to Woodknowledge Wales Ltd on 31st March 2026, reflecting the government's commitment to enhancing the timber value chain against the backdrop of fluctuating global prices.

Small and medium-sized sawmills could particularly profit from improved market understanding and strategic collaboration. The initiative not only provides monetary benefits but also supports business growth by fostering innovation and resilience in the timber supply chain in Wales.
