The importance of Procurement

Public procurement is regulated in the UK and therefore it is vital that those involved with purchasing activities within public sector bodies, ensure that the purchasing of goods, works and services, is carried out within the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCRs).

The overarching principle, is that contracting authorities must meet their contractual requirements for goods, works and services by means of a transparent, advertised contract award process. Bidders must be treated equally and without discrimination.

Having worked with a number of clients within the public sector, we are aware that understanding the legislation, identifying potential risks while ensuring stakeholders who need to procure a service or product “yesterday” can be complex and challenging!

It is with this in mind, that we have created the informative training tutorials available for free when you enter your email address below; in which we discuss various aspects to enable fair, transparent and compliant competition while equipping procurement team members!
