The reform package in brief
The government's "Growing British industry, jobs and skills" consultation outcome introduced measures to strengthen national capability, resilience and transparency through public procurement, including UK-sourcing confirmations and new sector-specific guidance.
What evaluators are now weighing
Bids that can evidence UK content, resilience planning and transparent supply chains are starting from a stronger position than those relying on price alone. This is a structural shift in how value-for-money is being interpreted, not a temporary preference.
Building a reform-ready bid
Review your standard bid templates against the new evaluation themes: UK sourcing evidence, resilience commitments and transparency reporting. Bids that treat these as boxes to tick will underperform against competitors who build a genuine, evidenced narrative around them.
