Finding it a challenge to secure contracts from Local Authorities?

It is in everybody’s interest to create the best possible relationship between small businesses and local authorities, as for every £1 spent by a Local Authority with an SME, 63p goes back into the local economy*. This figure drops to 40p for every £1 spent with a large corporate. So how can we address the challenges that SMEs face? We can start by encouraging SMEs to tell us about their grievances and we will then do all we can to turn a spotlight on the issues.

o, don’t miss out on this opportunity to air any experiences or views by contacting us at info@bbf.uk.com and help us feedback so that we may help instigate change in the way SMEs are considered by Local Authorities.
