Eight months after the Procurement Act 2023 went live, we surveyed public sector procurement professionals to understand how it’s landing in practice.
Our findings reveal a clear picture: while compliance levels are high, confidence is still catching up.
At Procurement Hub, we’ve brought these insights together in The Pulse Report to provide a snapshot of how the sector is adapting, where the challenges lie, and what support teams need next.
Alan Heron, Managing Director of Procurement Hub said:
“Twelve months on from the launch of the Procurement Act, it’s clear that things aren’t quite where any of us hoped they would be.
Compliance may be high, but confidence certainly isn’t, and the fact that 91% of public sector procurement teams say they need more guidance speaks for itself. The first year may be behind us, but in many ways, the hard work starts now.
Our priority at Procurement Hub is to help organisations move from simply meeting the rules to feeling genuinely confident and capable under them.”
