New rules mean new skills – and the Commercial Skills & Capability Zone explores the capabilities required to successfully implement and work within the new system. Drawing on research, training insights, and workforce development strategies, this zone examines where gaps are emerging and how organisations are addressing them.

From commercial confidence and digital literacy to legal understanding and supplier engagement, sessions will highlight what good looks like and how to build it. Expect practical discussions, real-world examples, and expert input from training bodies including PASS Procurement. Whether you’re leading transformation or looking to grow your own capability, this is where professional development meets procurement reform.
