Procurement series: Standstill, challenges and remedies under the Procurement Act 2023 - PAST EVENT - BM Insights

Standstill, challenges and remedies under the Procurement Act 2023

The Procurement Act 2023 brings about changes to how and when procurement challenges may be pursued. We were joined by Patrick Halliday and explored what those changes are and their implications for both contracting authorities and would-be challenger suppliers.

This session was aimed at public sector suppliers and provided a useful overview for procurement officers, in-house lawyers and contract managers.

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.
