See what's actually working in UK public sector — delivered by SMEs.
Real examples across NHS, local government and policing, showing what was implemented, the outcome, and who delivered it. So you can understand what works — and who to work with.
Public sector spend is shifting towards SMEs, with targets of up to 40% of procurement going to smaller businesses. But in practice, most departments are still closer to 20–25% direct spend. At the same time, many SME providers are delivering faster implementations, more focused solutions, and measurable outcomes in specific service areas. It's not always clear who's driving that impact. This brings those examples together in one place.
