The New Procurement Act
Contract Standing Orders



PA2023 webinar series

Monday 7 May 2024
12:30 – 13:15pm

All contracting authorities have Contract Standing Orders (CSOs) which provide a framework of rules for the procurement of works, goods and services. The aim of the CSOs is to promote good procurement practice, provide accountability, improve integrity and evidence value for money. It is therefore critical that CSO’s remain up to date, fully compliant with legislation and best practice. Failure to keep the CSO’s up to date could seriously affect your commercial and internal decision-making process and also result in poor accountability and a lack of transparency, which could expose your organisation and officers to a number of risks and reputational damage. 

In the webinar we will discuss how CSO should be updated to meet the new requirements of the Procurement Act.

Social Value and Procurement


PA2023 webinar series

Thursday 15 February 2024

Social value in procurement is about making sure that what you buy creates additional benefits for society. The Social Value Act 2012 states that all public bodies must consider how what they are proposing to buy might improve economic, social and environmental wellbeing. The challenge is how to make this come to life in the real world. Our expert guest speaker on this webinar is Gayle Monk  who is a Legal Director at Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP. Gayle has a particular focus on the environmental and social benefit that can be achieved through contracts and joint ventures, from advising on achieving social value in the form of targeted recruitment and training and supply chain opportunities, to advising on zero-carbon initiatives including the current Public Sector and Social Housing Decarbonisation Schemes.  In this webinar we will be discussing how delivering Social Value will be impacted under the new Procurement Act.
