Consultation description

Thank you for the responses received to date, this consultation has now closed.

The Cabinet Office is currently working on an official government response to the consultation which will be published in 2026.

The proposals in this consultation aim to build on the changes introduced in the Procurement Act 2023 to ensure that public procurement plays its full role in delivering the Government’s industrial strategy and fostering a resilient economy that supports British businesses and creates good jobs in communities across the country. These reforms will enhance the UK’s economic resilience and strengthen supply chains in line with the Government’s  industrial strategy. They will open up more opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are vital for driving the UK economy. This approach will enable public procurement to advance the national interest while respecting the UK’s international trade commitments.
