SME Procurement Policyrement Policy Stephen Tokley

The Ambition Government manifesto commitment: By the end of this Parliament 1 in every 3 we spend will be with small businesses in the UK What we re doing Contracts Finder Making it more simple Prompt Payment Public Procurement Review Service Crown Representative for Small Business & SME panel SME Ministers & SME Champions in all departments Engaging with large suppliers and making it easier for SMEs to find supply chain opportunities 4 You Said We Did

Transparency SMEs wanted a clear place to go to find contract opportunities We ve introduced the Contracts Finder website - https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder. By law government contracts above 10k and public sector (councils, NHS etc) contracts above 25k,which are advertised, must appear on Contracts Finder. We re working to improve the search facility but you ll find opportunities all over the country, including some advertised by our large contractors in supply chains 5 You Said We Did

Payment When bidders win a contract they wanted fair payment terms We changed the law so you should have 30 day payment terms in public contracts and those terms should also appear in subcontracts From 1 September 2019 in government contracts of over 5m per year bidders will have to demonstrate they pay their suppliers in accordance with the prompt payment code or risk not winning contracts - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy- note-0419-taking-account-of-a-suppliers-approach-to-payment-in- the-procurement-of-major-contracts--2 6 You Said We Did

More work to do We were told the way we did procurements made it difficult for SMEs to compete We ve made progress but we haven t solved all the issues. So we appointed an SME Panel - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sme-panel -to advise us and they ve been looking at barriers and perceptions and give their views to the team and our Minister. We ve also appointed an SME Crown Representative to be the voice of SMEs in government - https://www.gov.uk/government/people/martin-traynor 7 You Said We Did
