Procurement series: Are you a 'contracting authority?' Are you sure? - PAST EVENT - BM Insights

Are you a 'contracting authority'? Are you sure?

The key gateway as to whether or not the Procurement Act 2023 applies to your organisation is the key consideration as to whether or not you satisfy the definition of a ‘contracting authority’.

We explored the scope of what a ‘contracting authority’ is and which entities may (and may not be) caught by the Procurement Act 2023.

This session was aimed at bodies who may consider themselves contracting authorities, in particular those in the university and higher education sector, housing associations and RSLs and Foundation Trusts.

This event is part of Blake Morgan’s Procurement Series, where experts will examine what you need to know about the changing world of procurement. Please click here to view the full programme.
