Procurement Act 2023 — Supplier Readiness Pack

The Procurement Act 2023 — Supplier Readiness Pack is a one-off digital download for UK suppliers (and their bid writers) preparing tenders under the new public-procurement regime that came into force on 24 February 2025, with revised threshold amounts applying to procurements commenced on or after 1 January 2026. It is built for the supplier who has won bids under the old PCR 2015 regime, or is bidding public sector for the first time, and needs to know exactly what changed: Find a Tender Service registration, the Central Digital Platform, the new exclusion / debarment regime, prompt-payment 30-day terms cascading down the supply chain, and the strengthened emphasis on social value and value-for-money beyond lowest price. What is inside: — A 40-50 page master playbook walking through the Act section by section in supplier-focused plain English: registration, core data fields, exclusion grounds (mandatory and discretionary), conditions of participation, evaluation criteria changes, KPIs and contract-management duties, and the new transparency notices throughout the procurement lifecycle. — A bid evidence builder: standardised templates for legal, economic, financial and technical standing — company registration extract guidance, audited accounts framing, key-personnel CV format, professional references, insurance proofs, and environmental + social-value statements. — Threshold quick-reference for 2026 onwards (revised amounts inclusive of VAT, lower than previous figures, meaning more contracts fall inside the regulated regime). — Worked examples of how to respond to the new notice types and how to challenge an exclusion you believe is incorrect. — Cyber, data-protection and AI-use clauses you should expect contracting authorities to insert in 2026 contracts (UK GDPR, DUAA 2025, EU AI Act spillover for UK exporters), with model responses. Honest pre-launch note: SummitBridge Horizon Ltd was incorporated in April 2026. This pack is a one-off purchase, not a subscription — you download it, you own it. We refresh the master file when guidance changes (free re-download for 12 months from purchase). It is a self-help pack: it does not replace a procurement lawyer for high-value or contentious bids, and we say so explicitly. Use cases: first public-sector bid; refreshing your evidence pack after the 1 January 2026 threshold change; training a new bid writer; tightening responses on social value and prompt-payment cascade questions.
