Delta eSourcing

The Procurement Act 2023 marks a significant shift in how the public sector buys and engages with its supply chain. This is much more than just an update to regulations.

Buyers need to understand not just what has changed because of the Act, but how they can effectively use those changes to ensure their spend achieves the maximum value.

The Procurement Act Consultancy Support Packages provide contracting authorities with access to the knowledge and skills they need to maximise the benefits of the Act. While there is substantial coverage of what the Procurement Act is, this support enables buyers to go deeper into how the Act can transform their procurement and commercial activity.

2-Day Consultancy Package

  • Format: Available both in-person and online
  • Description: The two-day course builds on the knowledge gained from the one-day course with a strong focus on skills development within procurement and commercial functions. If your organisation already sells to the public sector, the Act will affect your chances of retaining existing contracts as buyers have more options and freedoms to explore the market. In addition to the foundations covered in day one, this course supports buyers in understanding how supplier behaviours and approaches will be affected by the Act – and how to navigate those changes to ensure your organisation benefits.
