One year on from the Procurement Act 2023

One year on from the Procurement Act 2023 coming into effect, many public sector organisations are now moving from understanding the new rules to working through the practical reality of implementing them. 

Across the public sector, we are seeing some consistent themes emerging: 

• Greater transparency requirements are increasing scrutiny and workload across the entire procurement lifecycle 
• Procurement teams are under pressure to publish pipelines, strengthen evaluation records and report on supplier performance 
• Contract management is becoming central to compliance, not just best practice 
• Many organisations are facing capacity and capability gaps as expectations increase 
• Social value is moving from tender commitments to measurable, monitored delivery 

For many teams, the challenge is not understanding the legislation, it is having the time, resource and tools to operationalise it. 

This is where Procurement Services Lifecycle can help: 

• Procurement pipeline development and forward planning 
• End-to-end procurement delivery 
• Contract management and supplier performance monitoring 
• KPI and reporting frameworks to support transparency requirements 
• Support embedding and evidencing social value throughout the contract lifecycle 

Our approach is designed to help organisations remain compliant while also improving commercial outcomes and reducing pressure on internal teams. 

If this is something your organisation is currently working through, we would welcome the opportunity to share how other public sector customers are approaching the changes and where we have been able to support.
