Training for the Procurement Act 2023

Register for the free DfE-approved transforming public sector procurement course.

The course:

  • aims to give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage your procurement under the legislation
  • is suitable for anyone within a school or multi-academy trust (MAT) responsible for running procurements, not just those in a specific commercial role

How to access the training

  1. Go to Government Commercial College - schools should already be registered on the site or can register for an account.
  2. Log in and select Find Learning at the top of page.
  3. Search for Transforming public procurement (TPP).

Register on the central digital platform

As part of The Procurement Act 2023 there will be a central digital platform to allow notices and documents to be published.

This platform will be an enhancement of the existing Find a Tender service. It will make it easier for suppliers to find and bid for contracts, and for you to meet your  transparency responsibilities.

Use the instructions on Government Commercial College to register.  Your request should be approved within 48 hours.
