Introducing our new Competitive Flexible Procedure Toolkit

As October 2024 fast approaches, public bodies, and suppliers to them, need to be ready for the Procurement Act coming into force. We have one question for you. Are you ready for reform?

The Procurement Act’s new competitive flexible procedure sets out what is required to run a successful procurement. Our team have designed an interactive toolkit that distils it down into 18 practical steps to guide you through the whole process.

Our new Procurement Act 2023: Competitive Flexible Procedure toolkit translates legal complexity into commercial clarity to help you understand the new rules and run a successful procurement. We have broken the steps down into three phases:

• Planning stage
• Preparation stage
• Undertaking stage

You can use the dropdown menu to go to the relevant stage and easily navigate to the required step. Each step includes:

• Key points to consider
• Details of required notices
• Links to relevant legislation and guidance
• DLA Piper insight

Do you work for a public body? The tool will help you find out what you need to do under the new regime. Are you a supplier to a public body? The tool will help you understand what to expect from a public procurement under the new regime.
