The Procurement Act 2023 will now commence on 24 February 2025. This will allow time for a new National Procurement Policy Statement (NPPS) to be produced. Contributions to its development are being sought by government via this survey.
BIVDA’s procurement workstream is led by Beth Loudon. We will respond to this survey on behalf of members, but please send your feedback individually to Beth for inclusion.
The survey is structured around four open questions designed to prompt ideas and insights from stakeholders and experts on how best to shape the NPPS to support a new, mission-driven approach to public procurement through increased value for money, social value, innovation and collaboration.
The NPPS will set out the Government’s strategic policy priorities for public procurement, and is an essential element of the Procurement Act. The Government wants the new regime to commence with a statutory NPPS that meets the challenge of applying the full potential of public procurement to deliver value for money, economic growth, and social value.
The survey closes at midday on Monday 4 November 2024.
