All you need to know about Procurement Reform

The Procurement Bill is making its way through parliament. It is expected to become law in 2023 and represents the most significant shake-up to procurement law and practice for a generation.

We have been at the forefront of procurement law for many years and here we bring together in one place key resources and our insights on this crucial development.

Addleshaw Goddard's market-leading procurement specialists offer unrivalled non-contentious and contentious capability and experience, with this practice area consistently ranked in Band 1 of the Chambers UK directory. You can find out more about our procurement team here. If you have any queries on how the reforms may affect you, one of our team would be delighted to help.
