The extension reflects the revised transitional and saving provisions set out in the Procurement Act 2023 (Commencement No. 3 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/959), which amend the implementation timetable for the new procurement regime. These amended regulations include revised deadlines that extend certain dates previously set for late October 2028 to 23 February 2029, ensuring continued lawful operation of DPS arrangements established under the 2015 Regulations during the transition to the new regime. This notice therefore records the updated DPS end date and confirms its continued lawful operation within the revised statutory transition period.
