We’re procurement leaders, bid writing and sustainability experts, entrepreneurs and, most of all, passionate small business owners who recognise the challenges businesses face when working with the public sector. Our experience means that we’ve been where you are now – we know how daunting breaking into the public sector can seem – trying to find work, win work and keep it can be exhausting and often demoralising if you haven’t got the tools in place to help.

The Procurement Act 2023 is due to go 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. This is the fourth of five events we'll hold starting December 2024 and throughout 2025 to keep updating on how the Procurement Act 2023 is embedding in day to day public procurement life.

At this session we'll give an overview of basic policies required by the public sector generally and by sector (such as construction, IT, professional services, health & care etc).
We will also explore how to get on the front foot policy wise, where to get good quality templates and how to ensure policy improves how your businesses works and reflects your values and operations.
