The Procurement Act 2023 comes into force on the 24 February 2025, and it is essential for academy trusts and colleges to familiarise themselves with the new legislation. The Act introduces new legal requirements and processes which require updates to existing policies, procedures and documents, so that you can ensure that your future purchases are compliant.
At Stone King, we recognise that this is a big change for academy trusts and colleges; so, in order to help you adapt to this new way of working as easily as possible, we have created an education focused procurement package. This will help guide you through the change, save you time and ensure you are compliant with the new laws and regulations.
This contains a procurement toolkit and online training video explaining the new legislation in a practical way focussed on the education sector, a procurement policy that is compliant with the new Procurement Act 2023, a Board Assurance Checklist, a procurement strategy template plus a Social Value Guide. This is perfect for an organisation that does not run any above threshold procurement in-house.

At SK we have been delivering in partnership with ISBL and CST a series of workshops, seminars and masterclasses. Recent testimonials include:
Was a great session - Ciara was so knowledgeable and engaging and really clear on the changes to procurement.
Ciara's session was epic, her delivery was outstanding. Made legalities sound interesting. Oh and the content was great as well.
Ciara Campfield’s procurement session was, for me, one of the highlights. A really great high level overview of the things we need to be considering.
