Summary

What this law does

The Procurement Act 2023 establishes a statutory framework for public procurement in the United Kingdom. It regulates covered procurements by contracting authorities, setting procedures for competitive tendering, conditions of participation, and dynamic markets. The Act creates mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds for suppliers, mandates debarment list publication and electronic notices, requires retention of procurement records, and establishes judicial remedies for suppliers.

Key obligations each linked to the provision it comes from

An appropriate authority may investigate whether a supplier is an excluded or excludable supplier for debarment purposes. When investigating, the authority must notify the supplier. An appropriate authority may require a contracting authority to provide relevant documents and assistance within a specified period, which the contracting authority must obey. The authority may also request documents and assistance from the supplier or connected persons.
s. 60
screening.pep_sanctions_adverse_mediaevidence.audit_trail
A Minister of the Crown satisfied that a relevant exclusion ground applies, or where a supplier failed to cooperate with an investigation, may enter the supplier on the debarment list with relevant debarment information. Notice must be given to the supplier. The entry cannot be made during the eight working day standstill period, nor if interim relief proceedings under section 63(1) are commenced and unresolved. The Minister must publish and keep the list under review.
s. 62
screening.pep_sanctions_adverse_mediaevidence.audit_trail
A contracting authority may terminate a public contract pursuant to an implied contractual term if a termination ground under (2) applies. Termination grounds comprise: authority assessment that the contract was awarded or modified in material breach of the Act or regulations under (2)(a); a supplier becoming an excluded or excludable supplier under (2)(b); or sub-contracting to an excluded or excludable supplier under (2)(c). Before terminating, an authority must notify the supplier, identify the ground, give reasons under (7)(a) and (7)(b), and afford reasonable opportunity to make representations under (7)(c). Under (8), the authority must afford reasonable opportunity to cease sub-contracting or find an alternative supplier before terminating on sub-contractor exclusion grounds.
s. 78
screening.pep_sanctions_adverse_media
Under (1), in determining whether a mandatory exclusion ground applies to a supplier, the decision-maker must ignore any event that occurred before the five-year period ending with the date on which the determination is made. This rule is subject to (2) to (4). Under (2), for mandatory exclusion grounds specified in (2)(a) to (h), the five-year rule in (1) applies whether the event occurred before or after the coming into force of this Schedule.
