PRACTICE NOTES
This practical guidance relates to the pre-Procurement Act 2023 regime
This Practice Note offers guidance for public procurement exercises launched before the Procurement Act 2023 (PA 2023) took effect on 24 February 2025. Procurements within scope that start on or after that date are subject to PA 2023. Under PA 2023’s transitional and savings provisions, the former public procurement regimes persist as needed so contracting authorities can conclude and administer procedures begun before PA 2023 commenced (ie ongoing procurements). This Practice Note should be interpreted on that basis. For background, see Practice Note: Introduction to the Procurement Act 2023—PA 2023. Further practical material on PA 2023 sits in a separate subtopic: Procurement Act 2023—overview. It is intended to be read alongside those materials for context and background.
