The Scottish Government is promoting improvements to the way the Public Sector Engages
with Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and the third sector. The main aim is to
promote robust, equitable and transparent business processes as a means of removing
barriers to business as perceived by SMEs. The outcome is to ensure that, wherever
possible and, consistent with the need to secure value for money, suitably qualified
SMEs have the opportunity to compete for public sector business.
