The Procurement Act 2023: what you need to know (and do) right now

​The Procurement Act 2023 went live in February 2025. The changes have only really started to bite in the last 6months. Most businesses are still catching up, and many are still bidding the way they did under the old rules.

​This session is not a legal lecture. It is a practical playbook for firms that want to win more public sector work under the new regime.

​What you will learn

• ​How the new Act actually changes day-to-day bidding for businesses. The practical version, no legalese.

• ​How to use pipeline notices to see contracts coming six to eighteen months out and prepare properly.

• ​Why pre-market engagement is now your best route to shaping a tender before it goes to market.

• ​Which operational habits to fix now to avoid the new debarment risks.
