New look Procurement Portal
As far as we know www.procurementportal.com remains the only free to access site of its kind. Over the last decade it has become highly regarded amongst procurement professionals, from both contracting authorities and suppliers alike, as a mine of useful information, guidance, legal updates and commentary on procurement law, practice and developments. First going live in 2009, now ten years on in 2019 we have just re-launched the site. It has an updated and more user-friendly look and feel, while still retaining all the features from the old site which users have found so helpful, for example:
- A “standstill period calculator” which takes the pain and the legal risk out of working out when the standstill period should end
- Work out which process to choose and what the timeframes should be with our award procedure decision tool and our timescale trackers
- A news blog with all the latest legal updates and guidance
- Comprehensive guidance on the law regulating public contracts, utilities contracts and concession contracts
- An introduction to rules around state aid and issues to consider for suppliers considering whether to challenge a procurement decision
- Template standstill letters and ITT
We really hope you like what you see, and very much welcome any feedback or suggestions for additional content. Please contact [email protected].
