We’re working closely with community groups, voluntary organisations and social enterprises to ensure that local communities are consulted and involved in transport developments.
We’re dedicated to creating a network of home-grown talent in Wales that promises to keep our communities thriving. We work with our suppliers to maximise investment in the skills, development and well-being of their staff and suppliers
When we buy goods and services, works and utilities, we do so in a way that achieves value for money and exploits the opportunity to achieve wider benefits for people, the economy and the environment. This approach to sustainable and ethical procurement sets out to meet the guidelines set by the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act.
We’re working closely with community groups, voluntary organisations and social enterprises to ensure that local communities are consulted and involved in transport developments. This includes procurement activity and making better social and community use of stations.
As part of our Station Social and Commercial Development Plan, we’ve appointed Community Ambassadors to liaise with an expanded network of community rail partnerships. They’re engaging with local communities to identify projects to bring redundant space back in to use.
We’ve worked with the Wales Council for Voluntary Action to involve voluntary and not-for-profit organisations in our procurement. We’ve also hosted supplier events with Social Business Wales and are working to ensure opportunities will continue to be available for social enterprises. Our hard work to build an integrated multimodal transport network in Wales will continue to provide opportunities to create local social, economic, environmental and cultural value.
