Webinar: One year of the Procurement Act 2023

Written by Social Value Portal | Feb 24, 2026 12:18:51 PM

One year on from the implementation of the Procurement Act 2023, public sector organisations are moving beyond compliance and beginning to assess its real-world impact. A key question has emerged across procurement and contract management teams: has Social Value delivery genuinely changed, or has it simply been reframed? 

This webinar examines how the Act has influenced Social Value across the procurement lifecycle and what this means in day-to-day practice for local authorities and NHS organisations. We will explore where meaningful shifts are happening, where familiar challenges remain, and how organisations can adapt their approach to ensure Social Value commitments translate into measurable outcomes.

The session provides a practical review of how Social Value is now being considered at each stage of procurement, from early market engagement and pre-procurement planning, through evaluation and award, to contract management, monitoring, and reporting. Particular attention will be given to how the Act’s emphasis on transparency, outcomes, and accountability is reshaping expectations placed on both buyers and suppliers.

Who should attend:

  • Procurement professionals within Local Authorities and NHS bodies
  • Contract and supplier relationship managers
  • Commercial and commissioning teams
  • Policy and governance leads involved in Social Value oversight

Why attend:
One year into the new regulatory landscape, organisations must ensure Social Value delivery is consistent, proportionate, and outcome-focused. This session supports teams in identifying gaps, strengthening internal alignment, and improving confidence in both procurement design and contract delivery.
