The Procurement Act 2023 has been in place since 24th February 2025. The government is now starting a consultation on proposed changes. These are mostly fairly minor, and are about extending the requirements placed on Central government departments to cover all contracting authorities (and a bit more clarification on SMEs and Social Value).
The deadline for responses is 5th September 2025, so you have a couple of months to respond (but don't forget). The link is here .
My first thoughts are (as above) nothing to significant. But I'll have a think and share my responses when I submit them.
Always interested in hearing/reading other people's thoughts too.
