The Procurement Strategy 2024-2028 has been developed so that it will not need to be amended further as a result of the Act.
East Suffolk Council’s Procurement Team will be engaging with suppliers on the impact of the new regulations through our Meet the Buyer event, emails and this webpage.
The Cabinet Office will be releasing a supplier communications package imminently and have produced short knowledge drops for suppliers: The Official Transforming Public Procurement Knowledge Drops - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
