The paper’s results should help public sector organisations understand the issues small and micro businesses face when trying to win public sector contracts; common barriers to public sector procurement; and why so many smaller firms simply don’t see public sector procurement as a realistic opportunity.
The paper also makes several recommendations that local authorities and other contracting authorities might consider to make the process simpler, and easier to access for the private sector. If you are interested in public sector procurement, have ever tried to win a contract with the public sector, or indeed are currently delivering work for any such organisation, you may find the policy paper an interesting read.
