The UK’s exit from the EU means we can exercise additional freedoms in relation to contract spend on goods, services and works contracts with a value below the applicable thresholds. This Procurement Policy Note (PPN) sets out information and associated guidance on the options available to Contracting Authorities to streamline and simplify procurement under these thresholds, and also tackle economic inequality, create new businesses, jobs and skills, as well as increasing supply chain resilience, encouraging entrepreneurship, and attracting new entrants to government markets.
