Impact of the UK Procurement Act on Market Growth in 2025 | SME-Focused Outsourcing Services Are Transforming Public Procurement
In 2025, governments worldwide are focusing on optimizing procurement practices to drive economic growth, enhance efficiency, and promote social change.
One of the most significant initiatives is the UK government's efforts to prioritize small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in public sector procurement processes.
This approach aims to support innovation, local businesses, and job creation, all while ensuring that public procurement is more inclusive, efficient, and sustainable.

UK Government's Procurement Reforms | The Procurement Act 2023
The UK government has introduced the Procurement Act 2023, a groundbreaking piece of legislation designed to overhaul public procurement processes.
The act, which received royal assent on October 26, 2023, and is expected to take effect in February 2025, aims to simplify procurement procedures and make it easier for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to access public sector contracts.
Key Features of the Procurement Act 2023:
Simplification of Procurement Processes: The act cuts down on the bureaucratic red tape that traditionally burdened smaller businesses. Streamlining these processes, it makes it easier for SMEs to participate in public procurement, thereby fostering greater competition and driving innovation.
Central Digital Platform: A new Central Digital Platform will be implemented, requiring suppliers to register in order to bid for public procurement contracts.
This initiative not only makes the process more transparent but also opens the doors for a wider range of businesses to engage in government contracts.
Focus on Social Value: The act emphasizes the inclusion of social value in procurement decisions.
Public agencies are encouraged to consider the broader social impact of contracts, which could include factors like environmental sustainability and the creation of local jobs.
Procurement Spend Targets for SMEs: A significant aspect of the reforms is the setting of procurement spend targets for SMEs.
By May 31, 2025, government departments must set a three-year target for direct spend with SMEs, covering the period from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2028.
Departments must also publish their progress against these targets annually by September 30 each year.
The Economic Impact and Market Growth
These policy changes are expected to have a substantial impact on the Procurement Outsourcing Services Market in the coming years. The push to prioritize SMEs and the introduction of simplified procurement processes will create a more competitive market, opening up new opportunities for procurement outsourcing firms.
The SMEs gain more access to public contracts, there will likely be an increase in demand for procurement outsourcing services to help these businesses navigate complex procurement procedures, manage supplier relationships, and optimize their operations.
According to recent data from MarketDigits, the global procurement outsourcing services market is projected to reach USD 10.7 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 14.70%.
The introduction of the Procurement Act 2023 and similar initiatives in other countries is expected to further fuel this growth, as procurement outsourcing services will be essential for businesses looking to scale and navigate the increasingly complex procurement landscape.

Scope and Investment Opportunities
The growing emphasis on SME participation in public procurement offers vast investment opportunities within the procurement outsourcing sector.
Companies providing end-to-end procurement services, such as strategic sourcing, supplier management, contract management, and spend analysis, will see increased demand as SMEs look for support to access government contracts.
Additionally, the increased focus on social value and sustainability in procurement decisions opens up opportunities for outsourcing firms that specialize in ethical sourcing, green procurement, and supply chain transparency.
These services will be in high demand as businesses strive to align with government expectations regarding social and environmental impacts.
Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data analytics into procurement processes is likely to become a key differentiator for outsourcing service providers.
The ability to offer AI-driven procurement solutions that enhance efficiency and reduce costs will create new market dynamics and attract further investments in the procurement outsourcing space.
