The Procurement Act, One Year On

As we reach the first anniversary of the Procurement Act 2023 (the ‘Act’), Chris Robinson (operations director – UK & Europe) and Fleur Summers (associate director – regulated procurement) of Mace examine its impact.

The initial year of the Act’s implementation has shown striking momentum. After a staggered start, both the public sector and contractors alike have started to embrace the opportunities the Act has provided. This has been characterised by momentum, adjustment, and a gradual bedding‑in of the new regulations in what is likely to be a continual learning curve for quite a while yet.

In the second instalment of GIRI's Procurement Act series of articles, Chris and Fleur explore progress to take and outline the continued grounds for optimism moving forward.
