For those involved with development projects and public sector procurement you will be interested to read our update, including a Quick Guide, on Post-Brexit procurement. The first of a two-part series examines the immediate legal and practical challenges arising from Brexit from 1 January 2021, and the impact on UK suppliers of the EU-UK Trade & Cooperation Agreement and the WTO Government Procurement Agreement. Please view the UK public-procurement post-Brexit Quick Guide.
Part II, available soon, will look at what the future holds for the UK regime under proposed reforms. The Government has published a Green Paper setting out its proposals to comprehensively streamline and simplify the current public procurement regulations. The consultation closes on 10 March 2021.
