How to find opportunities to sell to the council
UK Public Procurement is Changing
Procurement Act 2023
The Procurement Act 2023 came into force on 24 February 2025, a key change to the rules that shape how we buy our goods, works and services across Public Bodies.
The Procurement Act 2023 will introduce measures to improve and make procurement procedures more efficient, particularly for our small business, social enterprises including those organisations within our Voluntary and Community Sectors.
Any supplier who wants to bid for any work across the Public Sector which includes the London Borough of Harrow will need to be registered on the Central Digital Platform. Suppliers can register on the platform from 24 February 2025.
Guidance and information to help suppliers prepare and do business under the new regime can be accessed on the Government website via the following link: The Procurement Act 2023: A short guide for suppliers
For suppliers who wish to know more about the Procurement Act 2023, please see a webinar and the accompanying slides from the Cabinet Office.
Provider Selection Regime
The Provider Selection Regime (PSR) came into force on 1 January 2024. The London Borough of Harrow now applies the PSR when procuring healthcare services. For guidance, see PSR Statutory guidance.
