Procurement reform pre-implementation checklist.
As the Procurement Bill gets closer to achieving Royal Assent, the evolution in procurement legislation will require colleagues across the Welsh public sector to do things differently. The upcoming changes will not only affect procurement and commercial teams, they will drive behavioural and cultural change across the organisation to improve the way contracts for goods, services and works are procured. To help contracting authorities across Wales get ready for the new rules, we have updated the pre-implementation checklist that we previously published in October last year.
The checklist, which can be downloaded via the Procurement Reform section on Sell2Wales, identifies potential areas that contracting authorities should start thinking about now, to ensure they are ready and able to take advantage of the increased flexibility and transparency associated with the new rules.
Please familiarise yourselves with the content and share with colleagues and stakeholders in your organisation and wider network. If you have any queries, please e-mail: ProcurementReformTeam@gov.wales
