As a key partner for the prestigious event, held in the city of Manchester, MPB will be the official Drinks Reception Sponsor and the proud sponsor of the ‘Funder of the Year’ Award.

MPB Welcomes New Procurement Policy Note Prioritising Skills in Public Contracts

Posted on August 10, 2026

MPB Structures welcomes the recent announcement from the Cabinet Office regarding the new Procurement Policy Note (PPN). Effective from January 2027, the updated framework will double the minimum social value weighting to 20 per cent on government contracts valued at £5 million or more. Most notably, the policy refines social value outcomes to two core criteria: ‘good jobs’ and ‘skills’. This structural change means that apprenticeships, training, and work placements will effectively count for double in the bidding process. As an organisation deeply committed to workforce development, we fully endorse this strategic alignment of public spending with long-term skills generation.
