Procurement Act 2023
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
12 Covered procurement: objectives
(1) In carrying out a covered procurement, a contracting authority must have regard to the importance of— (a) delivering value for money; (b) maximising public benefit; (c) sharing information for the purpose of allowing suppliers and others to understand the authority’s procurement policies and decisions; (d) acting, and being seen to act, with integrity. (2) In carrying out a covered procurement, a contracting authority must treat suppliers the same unless a difference between the suppliers justifies different treatment. (3) If a contracting authority considers that different treatment is justified in a particular case, the authority must take all reasonable steps to ensure it does not put a supplier at an unfair advantage or disadvantage. (4) In carrying out a covered procurement, a contracting authority must— (a) have regard to the fact that small and medium-sized enterprises may face particular barriers to participation, and (b) consider whether such barriers can be removed or reduced.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
