LUPC is continuing to hold Q&A sessions for LUPC members, approximately quarterly, to address any questions around the new Procurement Act 2023 and its implementation.  These sessions are run by Mohamed Hans, an expert on the interpretation of public procurement rules. There will be a theme for each session with plenty of time for members to raise any concerns or questions they have for open discussion with Mohamed.

In the PA23 Q&A Session #9, we will cover the following areas that will be of particular interest to procurement and contract management practitioners working in contracting authorities:

• Content of the Payment Compliance Notice (UK17)
• Caselaw update
• Awarding Below Threshold Contracts
• Direct Awards under PA23
• Q&A (you are welcome to either send your questions in advance, please add at the time of registering, or you can ask during the session).

Registration closes 2pm on 5 November 2025.

For any queries, please contact Bindi Sandhu.
