PPN 10/23: Taking account of a bidder’s approach to payment in the procurement of major contracts

This PPN sets out how payment approaches can be taken into account in the procurement of major government contracts. It replaces PPN 08/21 from 1 April 2024.

Where this PPN applies, In-Scope organisations must use the questions in
Part 3 (Technical and Professional Ability) in the standard selection
questionnaire2. The questions require bidders to demonstrate they are paying 95% of invoices within 60 days (90% with an action plan), and also paying all their invoices within an average of 55 days.
