Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what proportion of Government spend in 2015-16 was on small and medium-sized enterprises in each of the (a) communications, (b) construction, (c) engineering goods, (d) industrial services, (e) logistics and (f) office solutions sectors.

On 11^th October 2017 we published the latest small and medium-sized enterprises’ spending performance figures:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/central-government-spend-with-smes-2015-to-2016

These show that government spent £12.2 bn in 2015-16 with small and medium sized enterprises, more than we have ever before recorded.

We do not currently monitor the breakdown of spend with SMEs by commercial sector.
