Constructing Excellence in Wales

CEW is grateful for the support of our sponsors for the 2009 Awards

Value Wales

The Welsh Assembly Government established its Value Wales arm as a catalyst for change across the public sector, to help organisations achieve real and sustainable improvements and realise value for money opportunities. The Welsh Assembly Government has set out its commitments to sustainability and Value Wales undertakes to incorporate delivery of these commitments through its work with the public sector. For some time Welsh Assembly Government has been at the forefront of developing Sustainable Procurement across the Welsh public sector and more recently has focused onto Construction as an integral part of its agenda and this is reflected throughout the work of Value Wales – Estates and Projects.

CLAW

CLAW, the Consortium of Local Authorities in Wales, has an important role as the leading Welsh local government forum for the management of property assets in the public sector. With close links to the Welsh Assembly Government and the Wales Audit Office the main purpose of the organisation is to assist authorities with sharing best practice, training and development needs, and the development of common standards. CLAW welcomes the opportunity to sponsor the CEW Awards for 2009 and looks forward to continued and strengthened links with CEW for the future. www.claw.gov.uk
