Power of Partnerships in Construction

Cost: Free

Summary

Collaboration and partnership bidding are increasingly important routes for Welsh construction businesses looking to access public contracts and compete for larger opportunities. 

But how does collaborative bidding work in practice, and what should suppliers consider when forming partnerships?

This fully funded event will explore how collaboration across the construction supply chain can help businesses find contracts, win new work and build stronger relationships with buyers. You will hear from Welsh businesses that have successfully worked together to secure public sector contracts, alongside expert insights from buyers and procurement specialists.

The event will also highlight upcoming joint bidding opportunities and provide valuable networking time for suppliers to connect with potential partners.
