Government puts a good spin on the benefits of the new Procurement Bill, however the knives are out in the House of Commons and everything could change. 

This week the Cabinet Office Government Commercial Function published a report; Benefits for Prospective Suppliers to the Public Sector .The document sets out how the new regime will deliver a range of benefits for suppliers of all sizes wishing to do business and deliver contracts for the public sector. However, the Bill is yet to face the rigour of the Commons and significant amendments are expected. That said if just some of the benefits set out by the Cabinet Office report are realised it will be a significant improvement on the current regime. You have to applaud the ambition.
