The Need, Benefit and Roadmap for a Technological Transformation in UK Public Sector Procurement

Public sector procurement in the UK - worth over £500 billion annually - is facing growing pressures caused by inefficiencies, outdated practices, and the slow adoption of modern technologies. These systemic issues are leading to significant financial losses, reduced supplier diversity, missed opportunities for sustainability, waning public trust and, perhaps most importantly of all, an all-pervasive lack of adoption of transformative tech solutions across the full spectrum of Public Services.

While the Procurement Act 2023, the establishment of the Central Digital Platform, and the AI Innovation Opportunities Action Plan lay the groundwork for critical reforms, only a comprehensive and technology-driven transformation can unlock procurement’s true, full potential as a proactive driver of economic, social, and environmental progress.

This latest white paper outlines an ambitious, actionable strategy centred on transformative technological advancements that are ready to be adopted on a nationwide scale, delivered by the establishment of a new Public Body: the Procurement Transformation Authority (PTA).
