SMEs
Government wants to buy from SMEs when they offer the best value. It has changed the way it buys goods and services to help more SMEs bid for contracts by:
- Ensuring payment within 30 days
- Buying in simpler and quicker ways, for example by abolishing pre-qualification questionnaires for low value contracts
- Publishing contracts on Contracts Finder
- Introducing a simplified bid pack.
