Are you struggling to win public sector contracts ?
According to the Federation of Small Business’ (FSB) ‘Voice of Small Business’ recent survey panel – the results reveal 40 per cent of small firms believe the tendering process for public sector contracts is still too complex, while 37 per cent think they are sidelined by public officials who believe bigger firms must be better.
The Government’s launch of its Contracts Finder website was designed to make it easier for small firms to find and bid for public sector work.
The Government has also recently updated it’s long term plan to reform the way the public sector does business, as new and updated data on £70 billion of potential future government contracts to support small firms was published at the end of April in the Government’s Procurement Pledge.
£70 billion of potential future contracts over the next five years, across 13 different sectors including construction, property, medical and police equipment. Publishing data on future contract needs allows government and industry to work together to spot any skills and investment gaps so they can act to safeguard UK competitiveness and growth.
