Post EU Transition Period changes on Sell2Wales

With the introduction of Find a Tender Service (FTS) on 1 January 2021 you will notice some changes to Sell2Wales, such as terminology changes. The site will function exactly the same as before and will automatically publish new Notices to FTS with no changes to the user journey.

One change you will notice is in the ‘Search Contracts' page, we will be introducing a Welsh flag icon which will appear for contracts published on Sell2Wales below the procurement threshold, replacing the current UK flag icon. The UK flag icon will now be used for contracts representing an above procurement threshold notice published to FTS. For Notices published to Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) they will retain the EU flag icon, for example, when placing a notice for EU funded procurements.

When will the Post EU Transition Period changes be introduced?

The changes outlined above will gradually be introduced in 2021, we anticipate the changes will start to be visible from week beginning 4 January with the flag icon change being incorporated by the end of March. Until the flag icon change is implemented, all above threshold Notices will retain the EU flag icon.
