New Strategic Approach Prioritizes Domestic Resilience and Sovereign Capability
The UK Government has announced a major shift in its public procurement strategy, prioritizing national security and long-term economic resilience. The new approach aims to reduce reliance on fragile global supply chains and strengthen domestic capability across critical sectors. According to Public Sector Executive, the government has already seen a £5 billion uplift in contracts awarded to British-founded firms since March, with a focus on high-growth sectors aligned with the UK’s Industrial Strategy.
