Introduction Each year the public sector spends around £236 billion buying a huge array of goods and services. The government needs to be able to purchase the most innovative, flexible and cost effective solutions to meet its needs and to ensure that taxpayers get value for their money. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are often best placed to offer such solutions but, at the same time, the government is aware that smaller companies can find it difficult to win public sector contracts.
