Procurement Act 2023
Ready From Day One
The Procurement Act 2023 introduces new transparency requirements, exclusion grounds, and supplier assessment rules for every contracting authority in England and Wales. My Supplier List is built to help NHS trusts, local authorities, and government bodies meet these obligations without adding administrative burden.
Why Public Sector Procurement Needs a Purpose-Built Platform
The Procurement Act 2023, which came into force in October 2024, represents the most significant reform of public procurement law since the UK left the EU. It replaces the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 with a new regime that demands greater transparency, structured supplier assessment, and a central debarment list that all contracting authorities must check before awarding contracts. For procurement teams in NHS trusts, local authorities, and central government departments, these are not optional improvements — they are legal requirements with real consequences for non-compliance.
At the same time, public sector organisations face growing expectations around social value and environmental sustainability. The Social Value Act 2012 requires contracting authorities to consider how procurement can improve the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of the area. Since June 2021, Procurement Policy Note 06/21 has required suppliers bidding for UK government contracts over £5 million to provide a Carbon Reduction Plan covering Scope 1, 2, and a subset of Scope 3 emissions. These requirements generate documentation that must be collected, validated, and reported on — work that is difficult to manage through email and spreadsheets alone.
My Supplier List addresses these challenges with compliance packs designed specifically for public sector requirements. The platform's onboarding workflows collect the documentation that contracting authorities need: Modern Slavery Act 2015 statements, Bribery Act 2010 declarations, Carbon Reduction Plans, insurance certificates, and financial health evidence. Each pack maps to the specific legislative requirements it covers, so your procurement team can demonstrate to auditors exactly which obligations have been met for each supplier.
For NHS organisations specifically, the platform supports the additional compliance requirements around clinical governance, information governance (including Data Security and Protection Toolkit alignment), and CQC regulatory standards that apply to healthcare supply chains. Supplier risk scores incorporate these sector-specific factors alongside the standard financial and operational assessments.
