The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 will change the procurement landscape. The new Regulations are due to come into force this Spring. This session highlights the practical steps you should be taking now to prepare for the new Regulations. It will include:
• groups and how to structure third party work and shared services arrangements
• abolition of Part B services and whether it is too late to avoid tendering your current arrangements
• new and revised procurement procedures and which to use
• contractor reliability risks from the new "selection" rules, and what to do about them
• taking maximum advantage of the greater flexibility over contract variations, and

• implied contract terms and why you should draft your own.
