The Procurement Act 2023 came into force on 24 February 2025.  

The Act provides a great opportunity for commissioning authorities to deliver good procurement that rewards fair condition of work and fosters community resilience.

The Act also provides an opportunity for new forms of engagement with community business and building well-being economies.

The Government has produced a large amount of guidance on the Act here that can at times be quite inpenetrable. A round up of all the official information can be found here.

The Government has published its National Policy Procurement Statement which can be found  here
