Procurement Act 2023 — What it means in practice

The current regulations introduce more flexible procedures while increasing transparency and accountability requirements.

eXceeding helps you navigate the Act with confidence, ensuring your tenders remain compliant, competitive, and focused on delivering the best outcomes.

Simpler Procedures, More Flexibility
The Act replaces multiple EU-derived frameworks with a single, streamlined approach, including the Competitive Flexible Procedure.
Greater Transparency
Buyers must now publish more data, including notices on contract pipelines, awards, and performance, ensuring full visibility across the supply chain.
Stronger Supplier Engagement
The Act encourages earlier market engagement, making it easier to attract the right suppliers and drive stronger competition.
Higher Accountability
With increased reporting requirements, public sector bodies must ensure their procurement processes are compliant, auditable, and defensible.

Our process supports internal alignment and operational success, reinforcing trust across your organisation.

Our Methodology

The eXceeding tendering methodology is modular, flexible, and specifically tailored to meet the unique demands of each public sector procurement. We combine layered commercial, technical, and procurement expertise with deep sector insight — a combination proven to deliver stronger, real-world outcomes in regulated environments.

Our structured approach guides public bodies through each stage of the tendering process, ensuring full compliance with the Procurement Act 2023, transparent governance, and strategic alignment with broader public policy objectives, including social value and sustainability.

Our Process Includes:

Procurement Strategy Development

Shaping the tender approach based on business case objectives, regulatory obligations, and in-depth needs analysis — ensuring early-stage strategic alignment.

Requirements Review and Alignment

Validating organisational needs and aligning them with both supplier market capabilities and overarching policy goals such as ESG, local economic impact, or community benefit.

Pre-Market Engagement

Engaging the supplier market early to shape procurement direction, assess feasibility, and build competitive tension — strengthening supplier readiness and market interest.

Tender Documentation Preparation

Drafting clear, compliant, and outcome-focused tender documentation that meets public sector standards and withstands audit scrutiny.

Tender Release and Management

Running a transparent, auditable procurement process using the most appropriate procedure as defined under the Procurement Act 2023 — ensuring equal treatment, fairness, and defensibility.

Evaluation and Supplier Presentations

Managing structured, objective, and transparent supplier evaluations, including moderated scoring sessions and formal supplier presentations to assess the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT).

Evaluation Governance and Tender Award

Producing clear, evidence-backed evaluation reports to support auditability and internal governance requirements. We draft detailed award recommendations, official notices, and ensure all decisions are fully documented and compliant with procurement regulations.

Contract Drafting

Developing fit-for-purpose contracts that balance commercial terms, risk allocation, and public interest protections — securing outcomes that support long-term service delivery.

Contract Award and Mobilisation

Managing the transition from award to service delivery with clear ownership structures and continuity into contract and supplier management.

Aligned to our Total Contract Lifecycle approach, we see the tendering stage as just the start of delivering long-term value. Our process lays the operational and governance foundations needed to support implementation teams, monitor suppliers effectively, and deliver sustained public benefit throughout the contract term.
