Procurement Case Studies

We measure success by what changes, not by what gets written down. These are organisations where we have rebuilt procurement functions, led major sourcing programmes and delivered measurable savings. From regulated utilities to mid-market manufacturers, the brief is always the same: stabilise, structure and improve procurement at pace, then stay until the change is in place

Book a free 30-minute procurement review with Tom Evans MCIPS. We will look at your current setup, identify the top three opportunities, and tell you honestly which service (if any) is the right fit. No obligation, no jargon.

The Procurement Act 2023 is the law that reforms public procurement in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It replaces the previous EU-derived regulations with a single regime focused on transparency, value for money, and consistent, fair treatment of suppliers across the public sector.

Contracting authorities must comply, including central government, local authorities, NHS bodies, utilities and other public sector organisations that award public contracts. Private suppliers bidding for public work also need to understand the regime, as it changes how tenders are run and how performance is assessed.

Key changes include a new transparency regime with more published notices across the contract lifecycle, a single competitive flexible procedure, a central debarment list for high-risk suppliers, stronger contract management duties, and a greater emphasis on documenting and evidencing fair, value-driven decisions.

Start with a readiness assessment of your current policies, procedures and systems against the new regime. Update procurement documents and templates, align governance and approval processes, set up the new notice and transparency obligations, and train your team. We support contracting authorities through each step.

Yes. Tom Evans, founder of Pro Outsourcing, is a certified Procurement Act 2023 practitioner. This means contracting authorities and regulated buyers get direct access to specialist, up-to-date knowledge of the new regime, applied by someone who has delivered public sector procurement in practice.
