Details

The government has set a target that by 2022, £1 in every £3 it spends will reach SMEs directly or through the supply chain.

The DIT SME action plan summarises changes in the procurement process made in recent years and sets out specific actions the department will undertake to promote increased spend with SME organisations in future.

DIT’s procurement processes align with the central government approach. For guidance on bidding for government contracts, see the SME selling to government guide.
