Procurement & Universities - A Roundup

Introduction

The procurement rules are complex, and this webinar aims to provide an overview of the key things a university needs to consider when conducting a procurement process caught by the Public Contracts Regulations.

It focuses on the rules that currently apply, with a brief update on the status of proposed changes under the UK Government’s Procurement Bill (likely to become law in late 2023).

Delegates will also gain an understanding of the consequences of not complying with the obligations imposed by the Public Contracts Regulations and the potential remedies available in the event of a procurement challenge.
