In April 2018, the Minister for Implementation announced a package of new measures designed to level the playing field for smaller businesses bidding to win government contracts, including improving transparency to encourage large businesses to employ more SMEs in the supply chain, using Contracts Finder to advertise subcontracting opportunities and excluding suppliers from Government procurements if they cannot demonstrate adherence with prompt payment policy. The Government remains committed to its target of spending one pound in three with SMEs by 2022. Spend with SMEs for the 2017/18 financial year will be published in the near future.
