Updated to replace all references to the Public Contract Regulations 2015 with the Procurement Act 2023, which came into force on 24 February 2025. The prompt payment policy has been updated: all public procurement contracts must include a 30-day payment term, which is implied even if not explicitly written into contracts. In the sections on ‘social value’ and ‘human rights, modern slavery and labour standards’, procurement policy note references and links have been updated.
