PPN 05/23: Implementing new Free Trade Agreements Published

30/05/2023

This Procurement Policy Note (PPN) sets out changes to public procurement obligations which arise out of the UK’s new Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with Australia and New Zealand. Although the amendments arise from these particular agreements, they apply to all procurements going forward, not just those involving Australian and New Zealand suppliers.

These changes will affect the treatment of contracts whose value cannot be estimated, the use of Prior Information Notices and Periodic Indicative Notices, and
the circumstances in which termination of contracts is permissible.
