The outlook for the UK economy continues to make grim reading following the Chancellor's Autumn Statement. The multiple challenges of a recession (now confirmed and likely to continue throughout 2023), inflation and interest rate rises will put the squeeze on public sector spending for the foreseeable future.
In this context, our procurement update explores how good practice in procurement conduct can continue to provide best value when spending public money.
We will:
- examine recent case law decisions;
- look at the PPNs and other important policy guidance issued over the last six months; and
- highlight the use of Frameworks as a means to efficiently and compliantly buy goods, works and services.
We will also check in on the Procurement Bill's passage through Parliament following the double change in Prime Minister since our last update.
