On the 11 September the Procurement Bill returned to the Lords to consider the Commons amendments and we will be issuing a full briefing on this development shortly. This means that Royal Assent is likely to follow shortly, and the countdown will begin for the implementation of new rules.
But this is only part of the story! Whilst it is important to understand the provisions of the Procurement Bill there is so much more yet to come. Government guidance and secondary legislation is yet to be finalised and will contain important information on the transition process and how some of the elements of the Bill and wider regime will be brought into effect.
