Overview of the Procurement Law 2023
The Procurement Act 2023 unifies existing procurement regulations, introducing new terminology and objectives focusing on value for money, public benefit and integrity. However, the transformative impact of this law depends on its practical implementation by procurement teams.

What Framespan customers say
“We have been using Framespan for over a year now, and I see great benefit every day. Since its launch, Framespan has contributed significantly to the reduction in the use of waivers in trusts. In addition to this reduction, Framespan also saves time when researching frameworks, especially for products and services Which we don't know much about, like in real estate.
Previously, searching for a suitable framework might have taken 1-2 hours to search through all the providers, but in Framespan this search now takes a few minutes.
