  8. Total Sales of around £25m Significant sales to Government and Prime Contractors to Government From Defence to Local Authorities

  9. They WANT to buy from YOU…. The government is committed to helping small and medium-sized businesses compete successfully for public-sector contracts. Why sell to the Government?

  10. Open for business with small firms “We are responsible for developing business opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with up to 500 employees.  'Value for money' is the only deciding factor when we award contracts competitively but, given our wider responsibility, we strongly encourage SMEs to bid for the departmental contracts they believe they could fulfill.”

  11. Process getting more open….. Public sector bodies have to employ tendering processes that are transparent, provide essential information to potential suppliers and ensure a fair chance for small businesses.

  12. Potential customers could include: Central government departments and agencies Devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland Local authorities National Health Service Police service Armed forces Universities, Colleges and Schools Prisons Approx 1200 Quangos, including Network Rail The government customer base is vast….

  13. Whether you sell stationery, office furniture, medical supplies, IT equipment, catering services, machinery, building services or training courses, there's likely to be a market for your product or service within government.

  14. Each year the public sector spends around £220 billion on goods and services. Local government alone spends £40 billion a year on goods and services. Selling products or services to government bodies is an important opportunity for all businesses Big spenders…..

  16. Can I borrow £178bn?

  17. Likely increase in outsourcing in the wake of future cuts in public spending as public services contracted to the private sector after the May (?) election. The Conservative party is committed to making deep cuts in public spending to curb Britain's rising budget deficit but whichever party takes over this year will need to slash the deficit by outsourcing more services to save money. CBI has set up the Public Services Strategy Board, which is pushing for more public services to be outsourced. Every disaster is an opportunity

  18. Central and local governments are increasingly turning to the private sector to carry out everything from hospital cleaning, defence training, refuse collection to building schools and hospitals. Example: Essex county council is planning to put out to tender a third of its budget.

  19. For local authorities and government, the advantage of outsourcing is it saves them money According to the DeAnne Julius report commissioned by the government, services outsourced to the private sector cost 20% less. Many of these savings are a result of private sector companies needing fewer staff and thousands of public sector jobs are at risk However, with a budget deficit of £178bn and rising, the attraction is obvious.
