PROCUREMENT STRATEGY

The impact on the future of procurement Post-Royal Assent , Atamis saw it as essential to establish a procurement landscape primed to cope in a rapidlyevolving world . As digitalisation and technological innovations , such as AI , continue to redefine the world , plus the spectre of the climate crisis looms ever larger , the industry must adapt .

But procurement also stands uniquely positioned to address these pressing challenges , offering a clear national vision and substantial investment to lead changes throughout the economy .

As with the focus on social value , the Act will impose more rigorous demands for reporting and set ambitious targets for achieving net-zero sustainability . As for the potential legislative response to technological innovation and AI , this remains a work in progress .

The Cabinet Office will be tasked with providing a centralised , modern digital platform for contracting bodies to use in their procurement endeavours . This signifies a keen awareness of the digitisation challenges that lie ahead .

Kate concludes : “ The provisions in the new legislation to support increased opportunities for a wider range of suppliers , particularly SMEs and VCSEs , coupled with the long-term transparency that pipeline notices will bring , will open up the market to businesses that may not have had the confidence or resource to expand their services into the public sector previously . “ By being able to see the pipeline of contracts ( 18 months ), bidding will become less resource-intensive through centrally stored data that can be reused and shared .

“ October 2024 is just the beginning . Atamis plans to continue supporting clients with the phased introduction of the legislation over the coming years . We will continue to actively work with the Cabinet Office to ensure we support our clients and deliver a compliant , effective solution as the later phases are finalised and delivered .”
