Procurement Act 2023 updates

The Procurement Act is a legislation that will reform public sector procurement in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The Procurement Act is legislation that aims to reform the way public authorities in the UK buy goods, services and public works.

What is changing?

The way that the University of Plymouth undertakes procurement is influenced by certain obligations set out in National Procurement Legislation.
The Act has been given Royal Assent and over the coming months we can expect to see the secondary legislation introduced which will underpin the Procurement Act.
It is anticipated that changes will come into effect on 24 February 2025.
To help suppliers get ready for go-live, this webpage has been created to share updates on the changes and how they are being implemented by the University of Plymouth.
We would also encourage interested parties to sign up for regular updates.
 
The Cabinet Office is running two webinars for suppliers and other external organisations to support readiness for the Procurement Act 2023, which is set to go live on 24 February 2025.
These sessions will focus primarily on what the key changes are, how the central digital platform will work (featuring a live demonstration), and will be an opportunity to ask questions on attendees' own preparations for go-live.
Book your place on one of the following dates:
Interested suppliers are encouraged to forward these booking links to colleagues and other organisations who would benefit from attending the events.
To make it easy for suppliers to find information on the Procurement Act 2023, the Cabinet Office has created a dedicated supplier information page on GOV.UK. They will continue to add information as it gets closer to the go-live date, including 'how to' videos, so please bookmark this and check back for further updates.
