Following the announcement that the Procurement Act 2023 will now commence on 24 February 2025 to allow time for a new National Procurement Policy Statement (NPPS) to be produced, the Cabinet Office are inviting contributions to the development of the NPPS through a dedicated survey.
The NPPS will set out the Government’s strategic policy priorities for public procurement, and is an essential element of the Procurement Act. The Government wants the new regime to commence with a statutory NPPS that meets the challenge of applying the full potential of public procurement to deliver value for money, economic growth, and social value.
The survey is structured around four open questions designed to prompt ideas and insights from stakeholders and experts on how best to shape the NPPS to support a new, mission-driven approach to public procurement through increased value for money, social value, innovation and collaboration.
The survey opens today and you can access it here. The survey is open for four weeks, and will close at midday on Monday 4 November 2024.
