Please view the UK public-procurement post-Brexit Quick Guide.

Part II, available soon, will look at what the future holds for the UK regime under proposed reforms. The Government has published a Green Paper setting out its proposals to comprehensively streamline and simplify the current public procurement regulations. The consultation closes on 10 March 2021.
