The Procurement Act 2023 is live

The Procurement Act 2023 came into force on 24 February 2025 and replaces the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The delayed start date from the original date of 28 October 2024, allowed the new UK government to produce a new National Procurement Policy Statement - GOV.UK. that clearly sets out its priorities for public procurement in support of its missions.
