Join our complimentary workshop with procurement experts from Somerset Council to explore the latest changes in procurement legislation, uncover new business opportunities in Somerset, and learn how to enhance your tender success.

Since February, the Procurement Act 2023 has been in force a pivotal reform aimed at boosting efficiency, transparency, and fairness in public sector procurement. This act also mandates that public bodies address the challenges SMEs encounter when bidding for contracts, ensuring a level playing field for all.

There’s no fee to attend. During the session, you’ll receive a clear overview of the new act and practical guidance on how to navigate the tendering process effectively, engage with public sector opportunities, and secure successful contracts. The workshop includes refreshments and a bacon roll to keep you fueled.

Don’t miss out on this chance to future-proof your procurement strategy and gain actionable insights!
