Procurement Act 2023 – Information for suppliers
Public Procurement law is changing. The new Procurement Act 2023 will be coming October 2024. Brentwood Borough Council wants to keep our suppliers as up-to-date and supported as possible.
If your business supplies goods, works or services to organisations in the public and utility sectors – or hopes to do so – you need to know about the changes.
The new Procurement Act will benefit suppliers of all sizes, particularly start-ups, scale-ups and small businesses.
It will create a central digital platform for suppliers to register and store their details so that they can be used for multiple bids and see all opportunities in one place. Simplified bidding processes will make it easier to bid, negotiate and work in partnership with the public sector. Below are a number of links to knowledge drops which will help you understand the changes that are coming on the .Gov.uk website.
