  In 2014-15, Central Government spent over £12 billion (27.1%) with small and medium sized businesses, which shows a continued year on year increase in SMEs winning public procurements. The Manifesto committed to ensuring of 33% of spend with SMEs by the end of this Parliament. Information on all public sector suppliers within a specific constituency is not held centrally.

• Written Answers — Cabinet Office: Regulation 24 Jul 2017

  The Red Tape Challenge did not make an analysis of the impact of deregulatory reforms on a geographical or business sector basis and therefore the Cabinet Office is unable to provide such a breakdown. In November 2016, policy responsibility moved from the Cabinet Office to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

• Written Answers — Cabinet Office: Iron and Steel: Procurement 24 Jul 2017

  Last December, the Government issued updated guidance on how to ensure that they take full account of the value provided by UK steel producers when conducting their procurement activities; and extended this guidance to the wider public sector. Since publication of the guidance, we have been working closely with central government departments to monitor the impact and effectiveness of the guidance.
