The Procurement Bill was debated at a second reading in the House of Commons on Monday 9 January 2023 without any major opposition and has now been sent to a Public Bill Committee which will scrutinise the Bill line by line and is expected to report to the House by Thursday 23 February 2023. It is anticipated that whilst there will be several amendments to the Bill over the next few months, they are likely to cover technical deficiencies in the Bill, rather than major amendments. The timetable for royal assent is expected to be Spring/ Summer 2023 and implementation in early 2024.
The Public Bill Committee has called for evidence and seeks views to be received by 5pm on 23 February 2023. So act fast if you want to participate.
