<p>The DfT and associated departmental public bodies and agencies have provided data
on the level of UK-produced steel procured for 2019-20 to BEIS. BEIS collates and
publishes annually information on how much steel is purchased for Government’s major
infrastructure projects in the previous financial year, including what proportion
is UK-produced. BEIS have collated the 2019-20 data from across Government and expect
to publish later this year. The data on UK steel procured in 2020-21 will be collated
in due course.</p><p>The Government is working with the steel industry, the unions
and devolved administrations to support the UK steel sector to develop a long-term
sustainable future. This includes making sure that UK producers of steel have the
best possible chance of competing for and winning contracts across all Government
procurement.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
