Recap of procurement policy in 2020
Share
In a year where procurement policy has been shaped, amongst other things, by the reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic and by the preparation for a post-Brexit transition, we have seen a flurry of Procurement Policy Notes (PPNs) issued by the Cabinet Office (and the rumour mill suggests we can expect more before the end of the year!).
The scope of the PPNs varies but, as always, even where an organisation is not explicitly within the scope of a PPN (for example, the PPNs dealing solely with central government contracts) the PPNs represent the current policy thinking of the Government and can give an insight into best practice for all contracting authorities.
