- Guide The National Procurement Policy Statement, explained The National Procurement Policy Statement (NPPS) sets the government's strategic priorities for public procurement. The Procurement Act 2023 requires most contracting authorities to have regard to it when they buy. The current statement, in effect from 24 February 2025, frames three priorities around value for money: economic growth and SMEs, social value, and commercial capability.
- Guide Bid or no bid: deciding what to chase Most losing bids were lost at the decision to bid. A disciplined bid or no-bid check covers fit, the incumbent, margin, capacity and evidence before any writing starts. This guide gives a practical qualification checklist and makes the case for walking away from tenders you cannot win.
- Guide Bidding as a consortium or subcontractor Smaller firms that cannot win a large contract alone can still take part: by forming a consortium or joint venture, joining under a lead supplier, or being a named subcontractor. This guide explains how each route is treated in a bid, how buyers assess combined capacity, how exclusion and associated persons work, and the paperwork involved.
- Guide Challenging a contract award decision: standstill, remedies and legal challenge Yes, you can challenge a UK public contract award, but the clock starts the moment the award notice is published. This guide explains the eight-working-day standstill period, the 30-day deadline for court proceedings, automatic suspension, and what remedies a court can actually order.
- Guide Debarment and the debarment list: what suppliers need to know Under the Procurement Act 2023, exclusion is a buyer keeping a supplier out of one procurement; debarment is a central listing that applies across all of them. This guide explains the mandatory and discretionary grounds, who maintains the published debarment list, how self-cleaning works, and how to reduce your exclusion risk.
- Guide Getting started: selling to the public sector The UK public sector buys almost everything, from catering to software, and publishes its contract opportunities on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. This guide explains who buys, where tenders appear, what the value thresholds mean in practice, and the first three steps a small firm should take.
- Guide How frameworks and call-offs work A framework is a pre-approved supplier list; a call-off is a contract awarded under it, either directly or through a further competition. This guide explains how suppliers get onto frameworks, how work actually flows through them, what open frameworks and dynamic markets change, and the traps to avoid.
- Guide How NHS Contracts Are Awarded: The Provider Selection Regime Explained Since 1 January 2024, most NHS health care contracts are awarded under the Provider Selection Regime, not the Procurement Act 2023. This guide explains what the PSR covers, its three selection processes, how it differs from the rules for goods and non-clinical services, and where suppliers find live opportunities.
- Guide Social value: what buyers actually want Social value questions ask what your contract will contribute beyond the specification: jobs, skills, environmental improvement, community benefit. They routinely carry ten per cent or more of the marks. This guide explains where the requirement comes from, what scores well, and the generic promises that score nothing.
