Business Opportunities
It’s clear that the UK public sector presents limitless business opportunities. In 2011 alone, over 600,000 public sector contracts were advertised – including government opportunities. The total value came to some £236 billion.
Now ask yourself: can you afford to let your competitors grab a slice of this valuable market at your expense?
Public sector contracts are all around you
Here are just some examples on how much the UK public sector spends on average each year on goods and services:
- Health – £30 billion
- Education – £20 billion
- Defence – £14 billion
- Local government – £40 billion
These figures barely scratch the surface. Just some examples of other business opportunities in the UK public sector include:
- Colleges and universities
- HM Revenue & Customs
- Police forces
- Social work departments
What does the public sector buy? And who do they buy from?
Training, office consumables, specialist equipment – it’s almost impossible to even start writing a list. That’s because the public sector purchases almost every product and service imaginable.
But don’t they prefer to buy from large, well-established businesses?
That’s not what the evidence shows: around £20 billion of local government spending (around half the total) goes to businesses with up to ten employees.
Business opportunities are there for the taking – if you know where to find them.
