Policy paper: DfE small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) action plan: 2025 to 2028

The UK Department for Education (DfE) has released its Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Action Plan for 2025 to 2028. This policy aims to facilitate access for small businesses to public sector supply chains by reducing administrative burdens and associated costs, thereby fostering greater SME participation in government contracts.

This initiative is strategically important as it addresses economic efficiency and market access within public procurement. By enabling greater SME participation, it can foster competition, potentially reduce costs for government, and stimulate growth within the SME sector, which is a significant component of many national economies.

The DfE is implementing an SME action plan covering 2025 to 2028.
