answer text
<p>On coming to power in 2010, this Government found that public sector procurement was fragmented, bureaucratic, protracted and expensive for both bidders and procurers. This closed and transactional approach discouraged small and innovative suppliers from bidding, and did not always deliver value for money.</p><p>The Cabinet Office introduced product surgeries to give procurers an opportunity to see what SMEs can offer before launching a procurement exercise. We now encourage Departments to consider running their own product surgeries as part of their pre-procurement engagement with the market. We do not collect information on the number of surgeries.</p>
