Public procurement is embracing innovation. Are you ready to showcase your creativity? The Procurement Act 2023 fosters innovation by encouraging flexible processes and outcome-focused solutions.

•    Flexible Procedures: Tools like the Competitive Flexible Procedure allow contracting authorities to encourage innovative proposals.

•    Focus on Outcomes: Specifications are increasingly outcome-based, providing suppliers with the freedom to propose creative solutions.

•    Opportunities for Collaboration: Early market engagement supports co-creation and innovation between buyers and suppliers.

Innovation is at the heart of the Procurement Act 2023, which prioritises creativity and collaboration in public procurement. The Act encourages contracting authorities to use flexible procedures that enable suppliers to present unique, solution-oriented proposals. 

By shifting focus from rigid specifications to desired outcomes, suppliers have more room to innovate and tailor their offerings to the specific needs of public sector projects. 
Early market engagement further supports this, providing a platform for suppliers to influence procurement strategies and co-create solutions with buyers. For SMEs and startups, this emphasis on innovation opens up new opportunities to compete and excel in the public sector marketplace.
