The keenly awaited Procurement Bill 2022, which the Government introduced into Parliament last year, is expected to go live in October 2024. The Bill sets out the Government’s vision for a faster, fairer and more effective public procurement regime.
Bethan Lloyd, Ross Palmer and Rachel Soundy from our Higher Education Group discussed the key issues that universities which are contracting authorities will need to get to grips with.
Topics covered in this session included:
- What is a contracting authority?
- What are the key changes affecting higher education institutions?
- What should higher education institutions be doing now to prepare?
This On Demand session will be relevant to anyone in the higher education sector with responsibility for purchasing and procurement, legal, regulatory and compliance.
