The Government is consulting on speeding up and simplifying procurement processes in a Green Paper issued recently, that proposes a range of reforms to public procurement in the UK. We have received confirmation from the Cabinet Office that the proposals will affect Clinical Commissioning Groups and local authorities commissioning social care. The scope of the reforms is all contracting authorities not undertaking devolved functions and that includes the wider public sector as well as central government. Consultation paper
The consultation deadline is 10 March 2021. UKHCA will be considering the detail of the consultation over the coming weeks.
