Support for Procurement Practitioners
From 24 February 2025 significant new regulations will come into effect that will transform public procurement - the Procurement Act 2023. This important piece of legislation will change the way the public sector buys goods and services, helping make better use of public resources to deliver better public services and grow the economy.
