An update on the Procurement Bill and how you can help shape it

<p>Join NCVO, Lloyds Bank Foundation for England &amp; Wales, CAF, Locality and Social Enterprise UK to find out what's happening with the Procurement Bill and why it's important for you to speak to your local MP about it. </p><p>The Procurement Bill sets out the new procurement rules that Government are intending to apply to how contracting authorities select and pay for public services.</p><p>W﻿hile the Bill includes some positive changes to procurement rules, it doesn't go far enough to address many of the challenges that charities and social enterprises face when it comes to commissioning and procurement - and which can have a detrimental impact on the services available locally. </p><p>T﻿here is still a chance to strengthen the Bill as it passes through Parliament. In January, it will be discussed in the House of Commons. That means MPs will have the opportunity to raise concerns with the Bill and suggest amendments. </p><p>A﻿s charities and social enterprises that will be impacted by the new procurement rules, you are well placed to speak to your MP ahead of discussions in Parliament. You can demonstrate why these rules matter: because they impact on what services are available locally; and because they shape the challenges that you face when it comes to commissioning and procurement. </p><h3>This session will provide: </h3><ul><li>an overview of the key areas in the Bill that need reform </li><li>a﻿n overview of why it's important for charities to speak to their MPs about the Bill </li><li>a﻿n overview of resources you can use to help your discussions with your MP </li></ul><h2>Who should attend?</h2><p>Anyone working in or with charities and social enterprises involved in public service delivery who is interested in making sure new procurement rules help overcome the challenges charities and social enterprises face with commissioning and procurement. </p><h2>Registering and more information</h2><p>Lloyds Bank Foundation will be hosting this event with the partners listed above.
