<p>The Procurement Bill contains proposals to simplify the procurement process and
make it easier for all companies to bid rather than specific groups. The changes that
are proposed are designed in particular to benefit businesses of all sizes throughout
the whole economy, including ethnic minority businesses; this includes measures that
will reduce barriers to entry including establishing a single transparency platform
so that bidders only have to submit their core credentials once, and making reforms
to procurement frameworks so that suppliers are not locked out.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
