Transformation is just around the corner (hopefully!). A simpler, more flexible and transparent public procurement has been promised, with the new Bill nearing its final stages, anticipation is building.
Once it has received Royal Assent, we have been promised at least six months to get systems and processes in order, but there’s still plenty that can be done now to prepare, so that when change comes, you’re ready to hit the ground running.
In this on-demand webinar, Browne Jacobson’s leading procurement lawyers:
- provide an overview of the current position of the Procurement Bill;
- be sharing their insights and experiences to help you navigate the impending changes and ensure that your procurement processes are compliant and effective; and
- provide tips on steps you can be taking now to ensure you are ready to implement changes.
Following this webinar there was an update from the Cabinet Office on the timescales for the new regime. It is now expected that the new regime will go live in October 2024 following a six month implementation period. If you would like to discuss how we can help you prepare for the regime, do get in touch.

There is also further guidance as to the use of frameworks
