Procurement and the Welsh Language – contracts and grants

Introduction

At the end of September 2015 the Welsh Language Commissioner gave notice to 26 organizations of the new Welsh Language Standards they are required to operate, and indicating what they will be what they expected to do and deliver in Welsh in accordance with The Welsh Language Measure (Wales) 2011. Various other bodies will receive similar notice in 2016 and 2017 to implement Standards

Procurement is a key area for enabling all organisations to respond effectively to the challenge of the new Standards, and appropriate and effective arrangements will need to be established in relation to contracts and grants.

Aim

The aim of this training is to clarify the main implications of the Standards with regard  to contracts and grants, and to share information on good practice in these areas.
