In this our fourth newsletter of 2023 we cover the latest developments and news about public sector procurement and contract management in the UK.
In this edition:
1. The Procurement Bill’s proposed change from five current procurement procedures down to two raises many questions for contracting authorities and their suppliers.
2. England’s NHS Provider Selection Regime – where competitive tendering is only an option rather than a requirement.
3. The new Procurement Bill – The ability to make post award changes to a contract is likely to be tempered by enhanced disclosure and transparency.
4. How often do you see overpriced tender bids that just do not make sense – well sometimes that is because they are rigged.
5. All change – A new Standard Questionnaire, an extended implementation deadline and further change to follow under the new Procurement Act.
6. Upcoming Training, Conferences and Free Webinars.
