Why choose us for your Public Sector Bid

Crafting a winning public-sector bid requires more than just compliance; it demands an understanding of customer nuances and political intricacies.

Understanding Public Sector Procurement

What is Public Sector Procurement?

Public sector procurement refers to the process by which public sector organisations, such as government departments, local authorities, and other public bodies, purchase goods, services, and works from external suppliers. This process is governed by a set of rules and regulations that ensure transparency, fairness, and value for money. Public sector procurement is a critical aspect of public sector organisations’ operations, as it enables them to deliver essential services to citizens while ensuring that public funds are used efficiently and effectively.

Public Sector Market Overview

The public sector market is a significant sector in the economy, with public sector organisations spending billions of pounds on goods, services, and works every year. The public sector market is characterized by a complex web of procurement processes, regulations, and stakeholders. Public sector organisations must navigate this complex landscape to ensure that they procure goods, services, and works that meet their needs while also delivering value for money to taxpayers.

In the UK, the public sector market is governed by a range of regulations, including the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR15) and the Procurement Act 2023. These regulations aim to promote transparency, fairness, and competition in public sector procurement, while also ensuring that public sector organisations achieve value for money.

Public sector procurement is a competitive process, with multiple suppliers competing for contracts. Public sector organisations use a range of procurement processes, including open tendering, restricted tendering, and framework agreements, to procure goods, services, and works. The procurement process typically involves several stages, including tendering, evaluation, and contract award.

Public sector procurement is not just about buying goods and services; it is also about delivering social value and promoting economic growth. Public sector organisations are increasingly looking for suppliers that can deliver social value, such as creating jobs, promoting sustainability, and supporting local communities.

In summary, public sector procurement is a critical aspect of public sector organisations’ operations, and it plays a vital role in delivering essential services to citizens while ensuring that public funds are used efficiently and effectively. The public sector market is characterized by a complex web of procurement processes, regulations, and stakeholders, and public sector organisations must navigate this complex landscape to ensure that they procure goods, services, and works that meet their needs while also delivering value for money to taxpayers.
