The new Procurement Act 2023 has reached royal assent and it is anticipated that this new regime will commence in February 2025 with a 6 month mobilisation period beforehand. There are a number of changes which will be implemented including:

• A central digital platform for suppliers which includes a supplier performance register and a debarment list
• New flexible procurement procedures
• Changes to frameworks mechanisms
• Additional transparency notice requirements
• Strengthened provisions for prompt payment throughout the supply chain
• Stronger exclusions framework which can be used to take tougher action on underperforming suppliers

There is already a range of information and resources about the new regime on the Transforming Public Procurement landing page including a series of ‘Knowledge Drop’ training videos with tailored versions designed specifically for suppliers, including SME and VCSE suppliers.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of the new Act please contact the dedicated Transforming Public Procurement helpdesk at procurement.reform@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.
