Keeping up to date with the Procurement Act 2023

Latest updates

November 2025

ESPO is now awarding frameworks under the new Procurement Act 2023. No matter which framework solution our customers choose, including those procured under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, your organisation can rest assured it is covered and compliant with the latest procurement regulations.

What's more, all ESPO frameworks are social value-enabled. The consideration for social value is included within the tender process of a framework, meaning that our customers can request more from service providers as part of a call-off process and achieve extra value for public money.

We also fed into the recent consultation process on the new regulations, and the recommendations from this outcome are due out at the end of January/early February 2026. ESPO will inform our customers as soon as this information is available.
