Overview

The Procurement Bill is expected to go live in October 2024, and the run up to this point will be a critically important time for all stakeholders. Understanding the changes and how to adapt to them are vital for a successful transition into this new landscape.

The Procurement Act Expo will bring together buyers and suppliers in a dynamic and collaborative environment, creating a space to engage, exchange ideas and create new relationships with others on this new procurement journey, ensuring delegates leave equipped and empowered not just to manage the transition, but to fully benefit from it.
