Driving service improvement and controlling spend amid regulatory pressure and rising expectations
Public sector organisations today are navigating a perfect storm of regulatory change, growing demand and increased public scrutiny. Achieving spending targets while maintaining the quality and availability of frontline services has never been more complex, or more critical.
Legislative reforms, such as the
UK Procurement Act 2023, mark a significant evolution in the public procurement landscape. Designed to make procurement "quicker, simpler, more transparent and better able to meet the UK’s needs," the Act introduces new obligations and opportunities for Finance and Procurement teams across the sector. Adapting to these changes requires both agility and strategic foresight.
Simultaneously, demand for services continues to rise. Growing populations, aging demographics and 24/7 digital expectations mean citizens increasingly assume services should be accessible, responsive and efficient - on their terms.
Against this backdrop, public sector Finance and Procurement functions are under more scrutiny than ever before. Yet many organisations still lack a clear and practical pathway to modernise spend management and transform service delivery at scale.
