Procurement Act 2023

The Procurement Act 2023 is the biggest reform of UK public procurement in a generation. It replaced the older EU-derived regulations with a single regime designed to be simpler, more transparent, and more open to small and medium-sized businesses.

For suppliers, the headline changes are a single central digital platform for notices, a richer set of notice types that appear earlier in the process, and a stronger emphasis on transparency before and after award. Tracking the new early notices is the practical way to get ahead.
