The UK Procurement Act 2023: A Game-Changer for Public Procurement
Public procurement is no longer just about price. It’s about impact. resilience. ethics. transparency.
The new UK Procurement Act 2023 mandates that public bodies move from the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) approach to the more holistic Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) framework.
This shift requires procurement teams to assess far more than cost:
-
Social value & supplier diversity
-
Environmental and ethical practices
-
Financial risk and resilience
-
Transparency and fair competition
The risks of non-compliance are real — reputational damage, lost funding, failed contracts, or legal challenges.
But the opportunities? Game-changing.

Case Study: Reducing Budget for Prospecting
"Our client, a fully licensed UK bank specialising in SME financial support, needed to find customers with large assets and high interest rates while entering the asset finance market. Using DataGardener’s API integrations and Lending Intelligence Tool, they identified high-value customers and gained insights into competitors' activities. The Monitor Plus feature allowed them to track customer events and identify clients needing renewals. They also found new clients with fully satisfied charges, minimising risks. As a result, our client successfully identified valuable customers who used only 15% of their budget and remained competitive." - Tarun Kumar, CEO DataGardener
