About this event
After the long wait for the Procurement Bill to go through the legislative process, the time has finally arrived for public contracting authorities and practitioners to start their implementation of the new Procurement Act 2023 (“PA23”). PA23 heralds the biggest shake-up of procurement rules for a generation and presents plenty of opportunities, challenges as well as new terminology and concepts which need to be quickly understood and applied.
Who should attend?
The webinar will support procurement, finance, solicitors, project managers, auditors and contract managers with day-to-day responsibilities for seeking tenders and managing suppliers.
