Procurement and contracts mission statement
Our mission
Our mission is to use our collective expertise, strategic leadership, and commercial influence across procurement, contract management, and grants and agreements to help NRW achieve its well-being goals.
We will do this by delivering compliant, value-driven services and fostering strong stakeholder engagement and collaboration throughout the organisation.
Provide effective leadership and direction in support of NRW's vision, values, and corporate well-being objectives
We will work closely and collaboratively with all parts of NRW to ensure that commercial decisions, whether related to procurement, contracts, or funding agreements, are strategically aligned with the organisation’s overall goals.
Use procurement power wisely and strategically, whilst providing an efficient end-to-end service
We will strive to use our commercial influence and leverage to ensure that NRW secures the best possible value for money from its suppliers, contracts, and funding agreements.
Through the procurement function, Contract Management Support Service (CMSS), and Grants and Agreements team, we will deliver efficient and compliant services, providing timely advice and assurance on contractual and funding matters.
Our collective efforts support NRW in achieving value for money while maintaining high standards of governance and accountability.
Be recognised as a trusted enabler of sustainable, innovative, and modern contractual agreements
We will embrace new technologies and modern approaches to procurement and commercial services, ensuring that our activities are socially responsible and environmentally sustainable.
Through proactive engagement with NRW staff, the Procurement team, CMSS, and Grants and Agreements team will work together to promote the consistent and compliant use of funding mechanisms and commercial processes across the organisation.
This supports NRW’s commitment to continuous improvement, innovation, and responsible stewardship of public resources.
Provide a fit-for-purpose, good practice compliant customer service
We are committed to delivering a customer-focused service across procurement, contract management, and grants & agreements.
Our processes are designed to be fair, transparent, and fully compliant with all relevant regulations.
Through ongoing engagement with internal customers, we will continuously improve our service delivery, ensuring that our teams are suitably qualified and operate to best practice standards.
This approach supports NRW in achieving its objectives while maintaining trust, accountability, and high-quality outcomes.
