The Procurement Act 2023 (c. 54) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The act seeks to overhaul public procurement law in the United Kingdom by simplifying processes and giving a greater share of public sector supply opportunities to small businesses. It is one of the most radical reforms affecting businesses since Brexit: the UK Government sees it as "throwing complicated and bureaucratic EU rules into the bin [and] stripping back red tape". The government held a consultation in 2023 on how to implement the act's provisions including by supplementary provision by regulations.
