The Procurement Journey

Start your procurement journey

The procurement journey envolves three broad steps: Develop, Tender, Contract. Each of these steps changes depending on the value of your procurement. Once you have developed your brief for the tender (see the first step of Develop), you will know what you are buying, how much it costs and whether it is freely available in the market. This will help you choose the Procurement Route from the Welsh Government Procurement Route Planner.

There are 3 routes:

Route One

This route is for procurements resulting in contracts with a total estimated value under £25,000 including VAT, which are non-repetitive and considered low risk.

Route Two

This route is for procurements resulting in contracts with a total estimated value between £25,000 including VAT and the World Trade Organisation Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO GPA) thresholds.

Route Three

This route is for procurements resulting in contracts with a total estimated value equal to or above the WTO GPA thresholds.
