Why take action now? 

 

The GPA 2025 introduces a statutory framework for suppliers and contractors participating in government procurement, including registration and potential exclusion for issues such as corruption convictions, anti-competitive conduct, insolvency or non-disclosure of relevant interests. 

 

Companies that prepare early can improve their documentation, identify gaps and approach suitable opportunities before the tender deadline.
