Supply Chain Opportunities
Very few businesses can operate without buying-in certain services, products or skills from other businesses.
This creates opportunities for potential suppliers. And in turn, these suppliers might need to buy-in or sub-contract certain things. And so a supply chain is created.
The bigger the business or project, the more likely the need to source suppliers across a range of fields. There are loads of supply chain opportunities in North Wales right now, so it's worth keeping your eyes and ears open.
Big development projects usually create big opportunities for local businesses. So it’s worth being in the know.
There’s at least seven major projects underway or being planned in North Wales right now – including a nuclear power station, a prison, an eco park and a tidal lagoon.
And the fact is, you need a lot of skills, products and services to build and operate big facilities like these.
Some of these things are usually outsourced – and if you’re in the right kind of industry, you might be able to bid for that work and win a valuable contract.
Another great way to find opportunities is to search on the Sell2Wales website. It's managed by Welsh Government and used mostly by the public sector to advertise contracts.
Local councils, colleges, the NHS, environmental agencies, emergency services and other public organisations use the site to source suppliers of different products, services or skills - anything from ICT support to waste management or buildings maintenance.
