Cabinet Office’s Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is responsible for the government’s commercial policies. By increasing government’s use of SMEs, the CCS aims to increase competition and innovation for public sector contracts. The report looks at what government is doing to make the public sector marketplace more accessible to SMEs. It focuses particularly on the action government took to achieve its aspiration of 25% by 2015 and early plans to achieve the 2020 target. The government has set a new target for 33% of spending to reach SMEs by 2020.
