About the seminar
The session will consider some of the issues causing difficulty now we are over six months since the Procurement Act 2023 came into force. It will also address NHS SubCos (the new terminology for wholly owned subsidiaries) and issues to consider when seeking to establish these. There will also be an opportunity to pose questions ahead of the session. These will be covered during the Q&A session
