Debarment and exclusion in UK public procurement for bribery offences: mandatory and discretionary grounds, exceptions, duration, enforcement, DPAs, self-reporting and self-cleaning under PCR 2015; Procurement Act 2023 transition
PRACTICE NOTES
Debarment and exclusion in UK public procurement for bribery offences: mandatory and discretionary grounds, exceptions, duration, enforcement, DPAs, self-reporting and self-cleaning under PCR 2015; Procurement Act 2023 transition
STOP PRESS: From 24 February 2025, the core elements of the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023) now apply. Any procurement launched on or after this date must proceed under PA 2023, while procurements initiated under earlier regimes (the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015), the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, the Concession Regulations 2016, and the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011) must continue to be run and overseen in line with those rules. See Practice Note: Introduction to the Procurement Act 2023—PA 2023. PCR 2015 as assimilated law PCR 2015 are EU-derived domestic rules and therefore constitute assimilated law under sections 2 and 6 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. For practical guidance on the standing and construction of assimilated law, see Practice Note: Assimilated law. Public procurement in the UK Public procurement concerns public bodies buying goods, works or services. Specific rules govern these purchases to ensure awards are made fairly and transparently, with all prospective suppliers treated equally and evaluated on the same basis. The framework also aims to preserve competition and is strongly directed at preventing any bribery/bias/corruption in...

POCA 2002 civil (non-conviction) recovery of cryptoassets (ECCTA 2023): search, seizure, wallet freezing, detention, forfeiture/destruction and conversion in the magistrates' courts (England and Wales)
PRACTICE NOTES
POCA 2002 civil (non-conviction) recovery of cryptoassets (ECCTA 2023): search, seizure, wallet freezing, detention, forfeiture/destruction and conversion in the magistrates' courts (England and Wales)
Following a series of court decisions and influential commentary, it is now widely accepted that, under English law, cryptoassets are neither things in possession nor things in action; instead, they comprise a distinct third form of property as data objects. The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA 2002) establishes, in broad terms, two routes for the realisation of criminal proceeds: a conviction-based restraint and confiscation regime under POCA 2002, Pt 2, criminal in character and largely managed by the criminal courts under the Criminal Procedure Rules 2025 (CrimPR 2025), SI 2025/909; and a non-conviction based asset recovery regime under POCA 2002, Pt 5, operating within the civil jurisdiction. In England and Wales, at a high level, this results in: proceedings before the magistrates’ court, in its civil jurisdiction, for the freezing and forfeiture of (i) cash, (ii) high value personal property, and (iii) money in accounts held with financial institutions (FIs); and proceedings before the High Court for a civil recovery order (CRO). Although certain powers within these frameworks have been used to recover cryptoassets (see...
