Public Contracts Regulations 2015

On Thursday 30 September PPN 06/21 comes into force. Under it, suppliers bidding for large central government contracts will be assessed on their commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. We look at the policy and actions to take now.

In the third of our highly regarded procurement short webinar series, Claire Gamage and Jenny Beresford-Jones (both specialist lawyers in our public procurement team) have set themselves the task of answering “Five in Twenty-Five”. Please join us!

The list of Central Government Authorities at Schedule 1 to the PCR 2015 is updated from August 16th 2021. NHS Foundation Trusts are now expressly listed as central government authorities and therefore subject to the lower financial threshold. Other authorities should check the revised list to confirm their status.

On 6 July (12:00 - 13:00), Mills and Reeve are teaming up with Public Health England to deliver a webinar overview of the call-off terms and conditions, including the ordering process, under the new National Microbiology Framework.
