Public procurement that a small company can actually bid for

The problem

Tender conditions on turnover and past experience routinely exclude new companies regardless of capability.

Why it matters

Public procurement is one of the largest markets in the country, and it is closed by default to new entrants.

Proposed solution

Advocate for proportionate qualification criteria, and publish analysis of how many bidders each large tender actually attracted.

How it would be implemented

Research using published tender data, highlighting tenders with very few bidders as a competition indicator.
