The new Procurement Act will benefit suppliers of all sizes, particularly start-ups, scale-ups and small businesses
Public procurement law is changing. The reforms will improve the way procurement is done, so that every pound goes further for our public services.
If your business supplies goods, works or services to the County Council – or hopes to do so – you need to know about the changes.
The new Procurement Act will benefit suppliers of all sizes, particularly start-ups, scale-ups and small businesses.
It will create a central digital platform for suppliers to register and store their details so that they can be used for multiple bids, and see all opportunities in one place. Simplified bidding processes will make it easier to bid, negotiate and work in partnership with the public sector.
A webinar for suppliers and other interested parties
The Procurement Act 2023 goes live on 24 February 2025.
The Government ran and recorded a webinar to help suppliers and other interested parties get ready for 24 February 2025 - GOV.UK.
