Small firms given free access to procurement website
The Government has announced that it will scrap the subscription fee for small businesses to view public sector procurement contracts on its www.supply2.gov.uk website.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) revealed that firms will now be able to access opportunities advertised on the website without having to pay a £180 annual charge. Business Minister Shriti Vadera said that the free service would be "an interim step" toward introducing a single website for all public sector contracts in 2010.
