Invitation for expressions of interest: New Working Group Announced (Commencing January 2026)
Now that the Procurement Act 2023 has been in force for several months, the Executive Committee is pleased to announce the first in what is hoped will be a series of working groups focussing on issues arising from the new Act.
The remit of the first working group focussed on the Act will be “Evaluation under the Procurement Act 2023”.
Working groups provide a vibrant platform for PLA members to share their expertise and views on areas of public procurement and all members of the PLA are invited and welcome to join these groups.
Meetings would typically take place by Teams (or similar) and the usual pattern is that the working group puts together a paper which is published on the PLA website. Usually a seminar is also presented, with working group members presenting the paper at the seminar.
If you would like to volunteer to join and/or to lead this working group or would like any more information, please contact Laura Brealey (laura.brealey@bevanbrittan.com) by 5 December 2025. An invite to attend a kick-off meeting in January 2026 will be sent to all those who express an interest.
