Chaired by Professor Steve Martin, Director of the Wales Centre for Public Policy, our panel includes:

  • Milica Kitson OBE, CEO, Constructing Excellence Wales
  • Matthew Mortlock, Director of Performance Audit, Wales Audit Office
  • Cllr. Phil Murphy, Cabinet Member for Resources, Monmouthshire County Council

While Wales is considerably less exposed to large scale private provision of public services compared to England, the Carillion case affords a moment for all those concerned with commissioning and delivering public services in Wales to reflect on procurement and outsourcing as innately political and strategic decisions.
