What we do

Ardal seeks to champion socially responsible procurement by striving to maximise the positive economic, social, environmental, and cultural well-being impact across our partnership and our frameworks.

Why we do it

We are driven by a strong ambition to use the power of procurement to help create sustainable and resilient communities that prioritise the well-being of both current and future generations. To achieve this, we need to support bold steps to tackle inequality, support fair work, protect our environment, and support our local economy.

How we do it

To achieve this, we’ve aligned our key procurement objectives with existing legislative and policy requirements – The Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and The Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act – that equally recognise procurement’s role in improving the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales.

Meet the Team

A prosperous Wales

An innovative, productive and low carbon society which recognises the limits of the global environment and therefore uses resources efficiently and proportionately (including acting on climate change); and which develops a skilled and well-educated population in an economy which generates wealth and provides employment opportunities, allowing people to take advantage of the wealth generated through securing decent work.

A resilient Wales

A nation which maintains and enhances a biodiverse natural environment with healthy functioning ecosystems that support social, economic and ecological resilience and the capacity to adapt to change (for example climate change).

A healthier Wales

A society in which people’s physical and mental well-being is maximised and in which choices and behaviours that benefit future health are understood.

A more equal Wales

A society that enables people to fultil their potential no matter what their background or circumstances (including their socio economic background circumstances).

A Wales of cohesive communities

Attractive, viable, safe and well-connected communities.

A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language

A society that promotes and protects culture, heritage and the Welsh language, and which encourages people to participate in the arts, and sports and recreation.

A globally responsible Wales

A nation which, when doing anything to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales, takes account of whether doing such a thing may make a positive contribution to global well-being, and the capacity to adapt to change (for example, climate change).
