Strategic Partner Event - ADS Workshop: Introduction to MOD Procurement – PA2023

Book your place onto our in person workshop, an intensive day designed to build practical confidence in the MOD Contracting processes, especially considering the new Procurement Act 2023. We will break down the key provisions, legal requirements and best-practice approach so you can apply the new rules immediately. As the most significant reform to procurement law for decades, the Act requires organisations that supply (or plan to supply) public bodies to be ready to operate effectively in the new regime. You will leave equipped to steer stakeholders through the transition period, manage uncertainty and provide clear, independent advice.

Whether you work in defence and security or adjacent markets, it’s essential that your organisation can operate confidently under the new governing law. This course includes the latest updates on Defence Transformation, which is progressing alongside the changes under PA2023. Places are limited so secure your booking now to ensure your team is prepared.
