Details

The purpose of our action plan is to outline initiatives we are putting in place to raise the proportion of our annual procurement spend on small and medium enterprises (SMEs). These are:

  • promoting the SME agenda, identifying opportunities for SMEs and coordinating SME-focussed activities
  • engaging with the SME community
  • simplification of procurement and contracting processes
  • enhancing opportunities through our supply chain
  • improving SME data collection

HMRC is committed to contributing towards the Cabinet Office target of raising the SME share of central government procurement spend to 33% by 2022.
