Description
Project description: During the pandemic, the UK awarded numerous public contracts to large companies exceeding £30.2 billion, via emergency procurement decisions. In the same period many SMEs, including those in Wales, seemingly lost out on these opportunities. Immediate analysis as to the reasons for this is required, particularly given Wales is disproportionately reliant on SMEs to sustain its economy. We will investigate the impact of Welsh public bodies' emergency procurement decision-making on SMEs' ability to achieve sustainability.
