One of the things about the new Procurement Act 2023 is that it is explicitly opening the door to more engagement with the supply base and market. Now there was nothing strictly stopping buyers from doing that under the PCR 2015, but in practice Public Sector Buyers were very worried about the risk of challenge for distorting competition.
Well the government is recognising that suppliers have useful insights, and encouraging buyers to discuss procurements with them - but obviously not in a way that does actual distort competition. And of course, if you are in Sales that is precisely your intention in engaging with potential customers.
But with some forethought this should be a useful capability.
So we are running a seminar to share what we see as best practice, and hope that delegates will share their thoughts and concerns too.
Full details are here.
