How do you sell to the construction industry’s biggest customer? By using the new Sell2Wales website that is going live at the end of June.

The public sector is construction’s biggest client so they must use the best way of reaching the key decision makers in central and local Government. Public sector organisations, such as the Welsh Government, councils, and police authorities spend over £3.5 billion each year on goods and services. That’s why the Welsh Government set up Sell2Wales to help you find out about, and bid for, a broad range of contract opportunities from public sector organisations and to work successfully with them.

The site is changing this week and you need to make sure you are up to speed with how the new site works. If you already use the site then you will have seen reminders about the changes. The URL for the new Sell2Wales site will be sent to you (if you are a registered user) - along with a short guide to help you through the first log-in ready to use straight after launch. The current sites – Buy4 and Sell2Wales – will be permanently unavailable from 5pm on Thursday 27th June 2013.

The new site goes live on Sunday 30th June – if you want to find out more about it and to make sure you have every chance of selling to key public sector decision makers contact Sell2Wales Help or Google Sell2Wales for the new website address after Sunday 30th June 2013.
