In 2019 the Government announced its intention for a radical overhaul of public procurement law after Brexit and a Green Paper has recently been published on this topic. In this event you will hear from the experts in the field, Professor Sue Arrowsmith and David Hansom who will explain in detail the ideas put forward in the Green Paper and their potential implications for procurement practitioners.
This is an essential webinar for all practitioners, suppliers to the public sector and their advisers who are looking for:
• Early information on likely changes to the law
• An in-depth understanding of the potential impact of proposed changes for procurement in your organisation
• The knowledge needed to provide informed input into the Government’s consultations.
