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

(4) Subsection (3) does not apply in relation to a contract— (a) awarded by a devolved Welsh authority or a transferred Northern Ireland authority, unless it is awarded under a reserved procurement arrangement, or (b) awarded under a devolved Welsh procurement arrangement or a transferred Northern Ireland procurement arrangement. (5) A Minister of the Crown may by regulations amend this section for the purpose of changing the financial threshold. (6) This section does not apply— (a) to private utilities, or (b) in relation to a contract awarded under section 41 by reference to paragraph 15 of Schedule 5 (direct award: user choice contracts).

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.
