From Monday 30 September to Friday 4 October techUK will be holding Procurement Week. The Procurement Act 2023 is set to go live in February 2025 and it will bring changes to procurement in the UK public sector, aiming to create a simpler and more flexible commercial system, open up the market to new entrants such as small businesses and social enterprises, and embed transparency.

Through a series of online events based around public procurement, we will explore what the changes will look like in practice and just how the act will influence how suppliers do business with the UK public sector.

Scroll down to see our other events for the week.


Join techUK and a fantastic panel of speakers on Tuesday 1 October at 11am for a webinar exploring innovation in public procurement. 

In this session we will explore issues like: 

  • How can public sector encourage the use of innovative solutions?  
  • How can we innovate the procurement process to allow for better outcomes? 
  • How will technologies like AI change public procurement? 
  • Will the Procurement Act drive meaningful change to government oucomes? 

We’d love to hear your views too.
