WhAT you will learn

UK procurement regulations are evolving, and suppliers to the museum and heritage sector must stay ahead to remain competitive. This webinar provides a concise breakdown of the latest changes, their impact on procurement processes, and how suppliers can adapt to the new procurement system and processes.

Some of the topics we’ll cover:

\
What regions in the UK are covered by the new regulations?
\
What is “early engagement” and how does that help me?
\
What is the Centralised Digital Platform?
\
What does “Most Advantageous Tender” mean and how do I demonstrate it?
\
How do contract thresholds affect the regulations?
\
What are “open frameworks” and how can I access them?
\
The rights to bid for non-UK-based companies
\
Practical steps to help you get the most out of the new system

Who should attend?

This session is aimed at consultants and service providers working with museums and heritage sites in the UK. You may be an experienced supplier, or a company looking to break into the UK museum and heritage sector. The changes to regulations will also affect European and American suppliers working in the UK, so this session will be valuable for international suppliers considering working in the UK market.

This includes:

  • Exhibition designers and fabricators
  • AV, AR, and VR providers
  • Display case and storage solution suppliers
  • Architects and fit-out specialists
  • Consultants and service providers working with museums and heritage sites

Why Should You Book?

  • Gain expert insights on the latest regulatory changes
  • Understand the impact on your business and future procurement opportunities
  • Learn strategies to stay compliant and competitive
  • Get your questions answered in real-time by industry professionals

We think the changes to the procurement regulations are in general very positive, and we are encouraged that these regulations specifically indicate that countries outside of the UK can bid on UK government contracts on the same basis as local companies.

Mark will give us the details and we'll have plenty of time for questions, too.

We hope to see you online on Wednesday, 26 March!

There is work out there, and we want you to get it!
