The Procurement Act 2023[1] (c. 54) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The act seeks to overhaul public procurement law in the United Kingdom by simplifying processes and giving a greater share of public sector supply opportunities to small businesses. It is one of the most radical reforms affecting businesses since Brexit:[2] the UK Government sees it as "throwing complicated and bureaucratic EU rules into the bin [and] stripping back red tape".[3] The government held a consultation in 2023 on how to implement the act's provisions including by supplementary provision by regulations.[4]
