At this event we'll take a look at a couple specific tools within the Procurement Act 2023 and go into more detail on how they work and how suppliers access them.
We'll focus on Open Frameworks - Under the Act, Frameworks (with more than one supplier) can be run for 8 years, providing it is re-opened at certain points. We'll talk through how it will work and how a Framework with only one supplier may differ. We'll chat through what to expect when they do re-open and how work is awarded under frameworks.
We'll look at Dynamic Markets and how they differ from Dynamic Purchasing Systems and discuss when they are mainly utilised and how they work.
We're delighted to be joined by Anneliese Forthergill of YPO who will help us better understand how these tools will be used and how suppliers, especially smaller organisations, can prepare to take part in bids and tenders under the new regulations

At this workshop we'll also give insights into marketplace feedback on the challenges and opportunities of social value, discussing how we can maximise social impact and harness the talent and capability of the market.
