The Procurement Act has been in force across England and Wales since February 2025, marking one of the most significant overhauls to public sector procurement in a generation. As implementation begins in earnest, suppliers must not only understand the legal and procedural changes but also the evolving mindset of public sector buyers operating under the new regime.
This free webinar, brought to you in association with Tracker, will feature exclusive insights from Carl Thomas, Implementation & Governance Lead at the Welsh Government, a key figure involved in shaping and supporting the rollout of the Procurement Act. This session will explore what has worked so far, what challenges remain, and what suppliers should now expect from buyers in terms of behaviours, expectations, and priorities.
Designed specifically for suppliers seeking to expand their presence in the UK public sector, this session will translate policy into practical advice, helping you understand where the real opportunities lie.
By attending, you will:
• Learn what the Procurement Act means in practice and how it is being implemented on the ground
• Understand what changes buyers are making and how their procurement mindset is shifting
• Hear directly from a senior Welsh Government procurement lead on lessons learned and what’s next
• Discover how to adapt your bid strategy to align with new legal and strategic procurement requirements
• Identify key opportunities and changes in supplier engagement and evaluation
