“As soon as you start to publish information about how an organisation or procurement is behaving and the decisions they’re making for everybody to see, it holds tension in performance and so people are much more likely to ask questions if they can see what’s happening and that is the gift that the transparency through the Act brings.”
In this episode of Powering Procurement, hosts Sian Lloyd and Gareth Burch are joined by Lisa Stubbs, Head of Open and Transparent Contracting at Cabinet Office. Together, they discuss how the Procurement Act (TPP) will transform UK public procurement, enhance transparency, and support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Lisa began her career in the civil service at 23, unsure of her future path. She quickly adapted, starting in telecoms and technology procurement for a centralised procurement organisation. Here, Lisa found space to learn and grow, with work that was both engaging and challenging.
She quickly rose to a management role and, by chance, discovered procurement policy, a field that allowed her to create new methods, rules, and legislation. Lisa was part of the team that adjusted UK procurement regulations post-Brexit, contributing to the development of a new regulatory framework.
