The good news is that an election on 4th July is well away from the confirmed go-live date of 28th October 2024 for the Procurement Act 2023.
So no complications, such as there might have been if the election was in October or November. (though Cabinet Office assured us that it would not be a problem and the legislation seems to have cross-party support).
Meanwhile there is increasing amounts of information about the Act being published by the Cabinet Office - which I am trying to keep up with. The good news is that it seems pretty good stuff at the moment. The bad news is that there are always going to be particular issues that need more clarity, or are not currently clear.
But with 5 months to go I think we have lots to work on.
