This is my favourite report which we put out each year - it's an essential read for anyone with a focus on the UK #publicsector You can download the full report via the link below 👇

Procurement Act 2023: Embracing the shift from 'Most Economically Advantageous Tender' to ‘Most Advantageous Tender’ ✨ The Procurement Act is only a month away and, as suppliers get ready to navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by this new legislation, we’re posting a series of digestible explainers on some of the changes and how suppliers should respond 💡 To kick off the series, we’re covering the move from 'Most Economically Advantageous Tender' (MEAT) to 'Most Advantageous Tender' (MAT) 🍖 Johnny Hugill, Director of Commercial, Spend and Impact at PUBLIC, explained the change and what it means for you at our partnered Procurement Act market briefing last year 🎫 What does MAT mean for suppliers? Contracting authorities will now evaluate tenders based on more than just price. Here are some things they'll be considering: 🌎 Sustainability 💓 Equality and Inclusivity 💸 Boosting local economies This shift creates new opportunities for suppliers who can demonstrate added value beyond cost savings. Whether it's showcasing supplier values, long-term benefits, or alignment with public sector priorities, MAT won’t just reward the cheapest solution 👀 Watch the full session here: https://lnkd.in/g7GkEw9X #procurementact #publicsector #pubsec #procurement #socialvalue
