• To analyse the experience gained and lessons learned from the Home Grown Talent project.
• To identify challenges, successes and best practice from experiences to date and the results of the Procurement Fitness Check programme.
• To consider the procurement implications of emerging legislation, policy and guidance such as the Well-being of Future Generations Act, The Tackling Poverty Action Plan and the Modern Day Slavery Act.
• To consider how the commitments in the Wales Procurement Policy statement can be addressed including the references to “Licence to Practice” and the use of a competency framework and CIPS global standards to assess procurement competency across the public sector.
• To make recommendations on training, development, recruitment and retention.
