Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

The Procurement Act is here, are you prepared for the changes? The good news is AWARD® is already fully equipped to support you navigate the new regime, and here’s why:

1. Designed for Flexibility

AWARD® is built to work with any procurement process, ensuring compliance and efficiency rather than adding complexity.

2. Supports Competitive Flexible Procedures

The new Procurement Act has streamlined procedures, simplifying choices to Open or Competitive Flexible – both of which AWARD® already supports. The platform also accommodates multiple phases, including negotiation, dialogue, and competition, giving procurement teams the freedom to design the process that best suits their needs.

3. Pre-Market Engagement is made easy

Effective pre-market engagement is crucial for successful procurement. AWARD® provides a rich Dataroom, enabling organisations to securely share documents and messages with suppliers – all with a fully audited trail. Additionally, a secure gateway feature ensures controlled supplier access before full engagement begins.

4. Lot-based procurement is seamless

For organisations dealing with lot-based procurement, AWARD® is the perfect solution. Suppliers can submit responses once and apply them to multiple lots, with different weighting options available for each evaluation.


At its core, AWARD® is designed for flexibility, compliance, and ease. With all the necessary features already in place, procurement teams can confidently move forward – AWARD® is ready now!
