National Procurement Concordat for SMEs
Wakefield Council has signed the National Procurement Concordat for SMEs (small and medium size enterprises).
The strategy requires local authorities to adopt a SME friendly procurement concordat and to encourage a mixed range of suppliers in order to help develop and stimulate a varied and competitive marketplace. The concordat sets out the actions that local authorities should take to make their contracts more accessible to SMEs.
The concordat is directly aligned to Wakefield Council's strategy of engaging with SMEs and regional suppliers, (please see 'Downloads' for a copy).
