Thank you, chair. Hey. Hey. And and thank you. Yeah.
A bit more gusto. Thank you, chair. It's a pleasure to serve under your chairship. I beg to move the committee considers the procurement amendment regulations 2026. Procurement tax 2023 introduced under the last government and passed with cross party support is a step forward in making public procurement simpler, more transparent, and more trustworthy.
It is, of course, not the whole journey, and we will be setting out further reforms shortly to ensure our procurement budget goes further and does more to support jobs and growth and to reduce unnecessary burdens of businesses. But the act does deliver progress and reflects a clear expectation from the public that procurement should be open to scrutiny, that spending should stand up to challenge, and that public money should always deliver value. The public rightly want to know what the government is buying, who we are buying it from, and what we are paying. That is the gap these regulations fill. Now they do not change how contracts are awarded, but they do complete a key element of the procurement act's transparency framework by making it possible to follow significant payments under public contracts and to do so on a single central platform.
