    Public procurement law - all you need to know!

    There are major changes to public procurement law expected in the next twelve months. The Procurement Act 2023 received royal assent last year, and is expected to come into force in October 2024.  Alongside these changes, a clear understanding of the existing procurement law and procedures which are being retained is essential for anyone involved in public procurement.

    Clarkslegal’s Public Procurement team is pleased to talk to you about the essential information you need to know in the following areas:

    1. Overview of procurement challenges – when can you challenge a procurement award; key timescales and procedures; remedies when your challenge succeeds
    2. Procurement Act 2023 – key changes to expect and practical tips to prepare
    3. Case law updates from the last year on challenging procurement awards

    SPEAKER: Stephen James, Partner at Clarkslegal LLP

    • 5.00pm - networking and light refreshments
    • 5.30pm - talk starts
