<p>The Government has overhauled public procurement to open it up to businesses of
all sizes. On 25 February 2015, we announced that central government spent £11.4 billion
with SMEs in 2013-14, a record 26.1% of direct and indirect spend. This meets our
aspiration, set in 2010, that 25% of government procurement spend would be with SMEs
by the end of this Parliament.</p><p>The data on central government spend with SMEs
in 2013-14 is available on GOV.UK: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/central-government-spend-with-smes-2013-to-2014"
