Procurement Compliance & Oversight

Imported from official source

Procurement Compliance and Oversight (PCO) aims to improve the capability and practices of contracting authorities for the benefit of everyone involved in public procurement by ensuring their compliance with the Procurement Act 2023.

  • Overseeing general compliance with procurement legislation
  • Maintaining fairness within the public sector procurement landscape
  • Investigating potential instances of non-compliance Issuing recommendations or guidance to contracting authorities with a view to improved practice
  • Actively reviewing and monitoring contracting authorities’ implementation of recommendations via progress reports to ensure that corrective actions are appropriately actioned. Working with procurement practitioners, via case studies and engagement sessions so others can learn and seek to avoid non-compliance.

    • PCO consists of two distinct services. Choose the service that matches your requirements. 

    Before using the PCO services we encourage you to read the relevant services’ scope and remit documents. These documents explain what the services can and cannot do and their ‘Privacy Notices’. By submitting a referral form for one of PCO’s services, you acknowledge and accept the scope and remit of the service.

    Please note: The scope of the PCS relates to non-compliance with the requirements of the Procurement Act 2023, but the PCS does not investigate specific decisions made by a contracting authority in respect of a particular procurement. If you are a supplier with a vested interest in an individual procurement, payment or contract management issue use the PPRS.

    The services will respect the confidentiality of referrals where requested, but cannot guarantee confidentiality where legal obligations require disclosure.
