Public Procurement: Growing British industry, jobs and skills - consultation on further reforms to public procurement
Consultation description
The proposals in this consultation aim to build on the changes introduced in the Procurement Act 2023 to ensure that public procurement plays its full role in delivering the Government鈥檚 industrial strategy and fostering a resilient economy that supports British businesses and creates good jobs in communities across the country. These reforms will enhance the UK鈥檚 economic resilience and strengthen supply chains in line with the Government鈥檚聽 industrial strategy. They will open up more opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are vital for driving the UK economy. This approach will enable public procurement to advance the national interest while respecting the UK鈥檚 international trade commitments.
