(asked on 7th September 2026) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to enable UK technology start-ups to compete more effectively for public sector procurement contracts.
This question was answered on 6th October 2026
The Government is committed to supporting start-ups, and small and medium-sized enterprises to compete for public contracts.
Recent changes to streamline and simplify the Social Value model, which include raising the threshold at which it applies to £1m, will directly benefit SMEs and start-ups wishing to bid for government contracts.
