Procurement Act 2023

Public Procurement Law is undergoing significant reforms aimed at improving transparency in procurement processes. The new Procurement Act 2023 came into effect on 24 February 2025, bringing changes to how Notting Hill Genesis procures goods, services and works.

If your business supplies or intends to supply goods, works, or services to Notting Hill Genesis, it's important to understand these changes.

Update

Key Benefits of the new Procurement Act

• Inclusivity for All Suppliers: The Act will benefit suppliers of all sizes, especially start-ups, scale-ups, and small businesses.
• Greater transparency – a central digital platform: A new platform will allow suppliers to register and store their details for multiple bids and view all opportunities in one place.
• Simplified Bidding Processes: The bidding process can be streamlined, making it easier to bid, negotiate, and collaborate with Notting Hill Genesis.

To make it easy for suppliers to find information on the Procurement Act 2023, the Cabinet Office has created a dedicated supplier information page on GOV.UK.
