Communities of Practice: PPRS late payment & SME inclusion

About this event

Join the Government Commercial Function on Thursday 5 November at 10:00am for the next Public Procurement Communities of Practice Session on PPRS Late Payment & SME Inclusion.

Join the Public Procurement Review Service (PPRS) for an in-depth exploration of the supplier experience, tackling two of the most critical issues facing small and medium enterprises (SMEs): payment practices and procurement accessibility.

Payment delays and complex tender hurdles disproportionately impact smaller suppliers. This session will explore:

• the root causes of late payment, regulatory expectations under the Procurement Act 2023
• practical steps procurement teams can take to lower barriers and drive fair SME participation

Public sector professionals can book their place on one of the sessions by registering via the Eventbrite link found on the Public Procurement Communities of Practice events page on the Government Commercial College.
