The Procurement Act 2023 went live on 28th October 2024. This event for both buyers and suppliers will look at what we have learned since the Act has been in force.
We'll look if possible at the Competitive Flexible Procedure and how it's being used, how dynamic markets are operating and whether Frameworks are being let under the new constructs as well as how the Central Digital Platform is working and if the new notice regime is helping to create more transparency and accessibility to public sector buyers.
We'll also be asking SMEs to feedback about whether their experience has changed at all and we'll look at the Central Digital Platform which is being released in phases and how this is working and helping suppliers to find opportunities.

A practical overview of Carbon Net Zero (CNZ) for providers. Where do you start, what does it mean and what proportionate, relevant and impactful actions can you take as a business?
The UK has legislated to end its contribution to global warming by 2050, in effect reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100%. That means Carbon Net Zero is one of the most important strategic drivers of our time, and this is being reflected in public procurements and grant funding processes in all sectors at all values. It will take everyone to get involved and contribute to achieving this critical goal.
We know it can be a challenging and complex topic though and Go4Growth is here to help you as a current or aspiring supplier within the public or private sectors to be able to work out what's right for your business to do as part of the drive to become Carbon Net Zero.
This webinar will provide a practical overview of Carbon Net Zero for providers whether you're supplying public or private sector clients as all commissioning organisations across all sectors focus more on environmental stewardship and reducing carbon.
We'll cover in brief the general requirements, what you need to be aware of and how your business can engage with this important agenda by creating a simple Net Zero Action Plan.
Having a Carbon Net Zero Action Plan will not only help us achieve our environmental goals as a nation, it is likely to become crucial to securing business in the future.
