The UK’s Public Procurement regime is set for wide ranging reform with a new Procurement Bill expected to be introduced from September 2021. The main elements of the Bill can be found in this briefing paper (from page 74) and will consolidate the current 350 procurement regulations spread over different regimes into a “single uniform regime”.

The Cabinet Office has also published a raft of Public Procurement notes (PPNs) that impact LUPC members.  Read our summary here which provides a summary of the key information.

We will update you on any changes as soon as they are announced but if you have any questions in the meantime, please contact Emma Keenan on e.keenan@lupc.ac.uk.
