<p>The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) collates and
publishes annually information on how much steel is purchased for the Government’s
major infrastructure projects in the previous financial year, including what proportion
is produced in the UK. This year’s data was published on 19 May and can be found at:
<a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/steel-public-procurement-2021"
target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/steel-public-procurement-2021</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>The reported value of UK steel procured in 2019/20 for major public projects
was £108m, a 33% increase on the previous year. BEIS will start collating data for
2020/21 in due course.</p>
