On 24 February 2025, the Procurement Act 2023 will come into force, marking the most significant overhaul of procurement law in recent memory. At Bevan Brittan, we’ve been actively involved from the consultation stage through to providing ongoing guidance on transitional arrangements.

How are we helping you to prepare?
