How the Public Sector will buy goods and services is changing – Stay Informed and Understand more with this informative workshop

Why Attend:

Public procurement is changing. On 24 February 2025, the rules that shape how public bodies buy goods and services will change.

The Procurement Act 2023 will introduce measures to improve and streamline the way procurement is done and benefit prospective suppliers of all sizes, particularly small businesses, start-ups and social enterprises.

If your business supplies goods, works or services to public or utility sector organisations – or hopes to do so in the future, these changes will impact you.

We will also be delivering an informative and interactive session as part of this workshop for those new to Public Sector Tendering.

· Discover how to source the right opportunities from the public sector

· Develop your approach for deciding whether an opportunity is for you

· Understand what documents you will need to fill in

· Understand how to complete the documentation

Who Should Attend:

Business owners, Procurement Staff, Business Development staff and any business who supplies goods, works or services to organisations in the public or utility sectors and those who hope to do so in the future.

Who's delivering the event?

This workshop will be delivered by NEPO and Executive Compass alongside Sunderland City Council and RTC North.
