The commencement of the Procurement Act 2023 has been delayed from 28 October 2024 to 24 February 2025.
In a statetement, Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office Georgia Gould said: "It is crucial that the new regime in the Procurement Act goes live with a bold and ambitious Statement that drives delivery of the Government’s missions, and therefore, I am proposing a short delay to the commencement of the Act to February 2025 so this work can be completed. I am confident that the extra time to prepare will allow for a more seamless transition, ensuring a smoother and more effective implementation process for both contracting authorities and suppliers."
