National Assembly for Wales: Sustainable Public Sector Food Procurement
October 2012
The public sector in Wales spends over £70m a year on food, £20m of which is spent on the procurement of fresh food. The Welsh Government has a duty to ensure that sustainable development is central to all of its undertakings.
This paper examines the development by the Welsh Government of guidance for public sector organisations in working to embed sustainable practices, including reducing food waste and procuring locally, into their procurement practice.
