I just can't be stopped from writing about how to reform procurement! But today we've gone one better - we've actually rewritten the statutory guidance (the NPPS) which would make 90% of the important changes the government needs to make. Read about it here. restate.substack.com/p/how-to-fix...

Unbelievably excited to be publishing this report today, following a lot of thinking on fixing the structural problems in public procurement over the last few months. The £395 billion a year public procurement market makes up c.12% of GDP - it's essential the Government gets this right.
