It said: “The checklist identifies potential areas that contracting authorities should start thinking about now, to ensure they are prepared and able to take advantage of the increased flexibility and transparency associated with the new rules.”

It has created an information sheet which outlines its plans for taking the procurement digital action plan forward and the potential opportunities arising from the changes.
