Convergence 2007-2013 Tendering opportunities and notices (updated 24.06.2009)

Most Convergence project delivery will be procured through competitive tendering. Weblinks to Convergence-specific tendering opportunities and notices of tendering opportunities will be posted here as we become aware of them.

Notices can be found by following the links at the bottom of this page (click Notices in list format (all notices)) or arranged by Convergence theme (click Notices arranged by Convergence theme). The links under each notice will take you directly to the relevant notice on the Sell2Wales website. Scroll to the bottom of the page to view the notice.

WEFO are encouraging small organisations to register their services on the Sell2Wales website as part of delivery arrangements for the 2007-2013 programmes.

Third sector organisations in City & County of Swansea will find further advice on procurement on the Swansea Council for Voluntary Service (SCVS) Convergence pages by following the link to the right of this page.

Under the new Programmes organisations can benefit from European funding – not only as sponsors or as beneficiaries of projects but also by tendering to deliver their services. Once registered with Sell2Wales, organisations can then bid for contracts, and will be alerted of opportunities that are published on Buy4Wales.

Opportunities to deliver services through European funded projects will also be listed on the WEFO website in the approved projects tables.
