- The new Modern Slavery Procurement Guidance
Plus a number of questions/issues prompted by recent UK/EU court decisions:
- What happens if you abandon a procurement in the light of a procurement challenge?
- Drafting of contract notices – do you have to stick to the description in the notice once the contract is awarded?
- Court of Appeal on “Ocean Outdoor” leases - service concessions, contracts for pecuniary interest or land transactions?
- Exclusion of contractors for prior poor performance

As you will see, we are making a nominal charge of £25 for attendance at these events - which are always heavily oversubscribed. We introduced this charge for the Procurement Updates in summer 2018, in an attempt to reduce last minute no-shows. There were very few no-shows at those events and we have therefore decided to continue to make a charge.
