Earlier this year, we made the commencement order to allow us to develop the secondary legislation, guidance for socially responsible procurement, the clauses for public works and workforce matters, and a new code for outsourcing services. In July, we began a three-month public consultation on the draft regulations. The remaining commencement orders are expected to be made around early 2026.
