For one glaring example, the UK government was forced to consider tenders from across the EU and cannot subsidise UK companies to improve their offering (one rule regularly ignored by France, for example). That one is still on the statute books.

What would be the basis for doing so under UK law? Not adhering to someone else's rules I presume..

Just in case the point escaped you, we are talking about when we have finally dumped the existing EU laws not where we are at the moment. The question was "what are the benefits" post Brexit but that is clearly too subtle for you.
