Government Departments: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent assessment he has made of the level of Government procurement from small and medium-sized enterprises.
- Answer
-
On 11th October 2017 we published the latest small and medium-sized enterprises’ spending performance figures:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/central-government-spend-with-smes-2015-to-2016
These show that government spent £12.2 bn in 2015-16 with small and medium sized enterprises, more than we have ever before recorded.
The Government remain committed to a challenging target to ensure that a third of their procurement spending is with small businesses by 2022, and we are continuing to take action to achieve that.
