Cabinet Office Transforming Public Procurement Survey

To prepare for the changes ahead the Cabinet Office is keen to hear views from all sectors to inform development of the Transforming Public Procurement programme.

The Transforming Public Procurement programme aims to reform public procurement legislation and create a simpler, more flexible, and more transparent commercial system. The Procurement Bill - which will replace the existing EU procurement rules - is currently progressing through Parliament.

To prepare for the changes ahead the Cabinet Office is keen to hear views to inform development of the programme, guide implementation of the new reforms when they come into force, and help measure the impact of the programme over time.

This short survey is for organisations affected by these reforms - either a contracting authority or an organisation that supplies the public sector - and is an opportunity to have your say. The Cabinet Office will be providing this opportunity every six months and exploring views on a range of important subjects - it is entirely anonymous and no one's views will be attributable, so respondents can be candid.

The survey will enable the Cabinet Office to gather valuable insight and information to shape the programme and to create a baseline to measure the impact of the reforms. Please do take the opportunity to give your views and share the survey link within your own communities.

You can complete the survey here. The survey will close on 19 August
