The Procurement Act will initiate the greatest changes to the way public procurement is conducted in a generation, and it is vital for suppliers to understand how buyers are changing the way they operate, and how they can continue to deliver the goods and services the public sector requires.

The Supplier Insight Zone will provide detailed knowledge sessions outlining where the future opportunities lie for suppliers, what buyers are looking for from suppliers, and how their priorities are changing as the effects of the Procurement Act filter into their activity.

Key topics will include the future priorities for public spending, delivering social value and sustainability in contracts, the role of frameworks in supporting transparency, the impact of the Act in Wales and in the defence sector, and the role of the Procurement Review Unit.
