Only Connect Classic - The new Procurement Act & SMEs
Wednesday, 1 October, 2025

"Thousands of small businesses to benefit from new government buying rules, boosting local jobs, growth and innovation"This headline was published by the UK government to highlight its priorities for the new Procurement Act, including “driving economic growth and strengthening supply chains by giving SMEs.. a fair chance" of winning a larger share of direct tenders and places on project supply chains.As Urbano Network, we have been helping bring SMEs into procurement by creating business communities to engage business owners and encourage collaboration, drive innovation and create real new business opportunities through training and explaining the benefits of becoming a supplier to the public sector.This podcast is a recording of our recent Urbano speaker panel event, where representatives from AECOM, Peabody, Mace, and Trowers & Hamlins and an audience of SMEs discuss the impact of the new rules and policies.Please email feedback etc to mark@urbanonetwork.co.ukSupport the show
