Doing business in public procurement isn’t fun. Changing the way it works is.
We're developing online tools to help SMEs win more government tenders in the UK.
Hey! It’s not a level playing field! We want SMEs to get their fair share.

Limited Resources
96% of all businesses in the UK have fewer than 10 employees.
