The regime changed on 24 February 2025. Atlas runs the whole cycle to the new rules — open and competitive flexible procedures, assessment summaries, the eight-day standstill — through to PO, invoice and payment.
The actual settings screen, not marketing copy. The UK profile sets GBP, VAT and the Procurement Act 2023 threshold matrix — below-threshold duties, the light-touch regime, and the Act's own goods, services and construction bands.
For contracting authorities under the Procurement Act 2023 — central government, local authorities, NHS bodies, schools and universities — where the procedure you publish is the procedure you are held to.
The competitive flexible procedure gives you freedom — and holds you to it. Backbone keeps the procedure you published and the record that proves you followed it.
For UK companies that want procurement discipline — the visibility a finance director expects — without a six-figure suite or a year-long rollout.
A full supplier record with risk and performance, lifecycle gates, and control over the details that get abused — so a purchase never reaches a supplier it shouldn't.
The Procurement Act 2023 changed the procedures, the notices and the standstill. Much of what's on the market was built for the regime it replaced — and still leaves you to stitch the cycle together.
Atlas stays the procurement record and posts straight to your connected ledger; an older ledger pulls a read-only feed on its own schedule — so contracts and their milestones reach AP without a manual handover.
A short demo on your categories, your thresholds and your sector — public or private — with the full cycle, end to end, run to the Procurement Act 2023.
