Are you getting enough?

BBC South Today featured a conference organised by SEEDA for small businesses to meet the Olympic organisers to know how they can 'cash in' on opportunities. It seems that some small businesses feel they are at a disadvantage.

The Olympic 2012 web site has an eTendering web site that shows past, current and future opportunities so that is easily accessible, check it out.

But the spend on the Olympics 2012 is small compared to what the UK public sector spends annually, so how are small businesses doing in the competition for public sector contracts? Are you getting enough?

A report has just been published by the DTI with more statistics that you could shake a stick at. Click here for the report. Can't be bothered and just need the headlines, here goes:





I bet you now want to read that report?

UK Government launch Small Business Forum

This blog regularly covers the issues facing SMEs and it will be interesting to see what issues emerge from the Small Business Forum.

There is an interesting panel representing small businesses and the first meeting on 1st May may have been little more than a get to know each other and set the agenda for the next meeting affair. Click here to see those comprising the panel.

At the same London Olympics 2012 has run a seminar to help small business understand how they can access opportunities connected with the Games. They have an eTenders site, click here to go there.

It really does appear that government is working to open up public sector contracts to SMEs.
