They will also have to provide the government with data highlighting how businesses in their supply chain, including small businesses, are benefitting from supplying to central government.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, each government department has been directed to nominate a minister as small business champion.<\/p>\n<p>No timetable has been given for implementation of the proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Cabinet Office minister Oliver Dowden said: \u201cThis government is listening to the business community and is committed to levelling the playing field for smaller suppliers to win work in the public sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have set a challenging aspiration that 33% of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/procurement-trends-in-data-collection\/37898\/\">procurement<\/a> spend should be with small businesses by 2022 \u2013 and are doing more than ever to break down barriers for smaller firms. Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, and play a key role in helping us to build a strong, viable private sector that delivers value for taxpayers and jobs for millions all over the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsb.org.uk\/\">Federation of Small Businesses<\/a> national chairman Mike Cherry said: \u201cEach year, the UK public sector spends over \u00a3200bn on goods and services from third parties. As such a large and prominent customer in the economy, the government has a pivotal role to play in demonstrating what it is to be a good client.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is right then that the government today announces, as part of a new package to boost SME procurement, that it will clamp down on poor payment practice throughout public procurement supply chains. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/sme-contractors-turnover-late-payments\/33035\/\">Companies who pay late<\/a> should not be rewarded with public sector contracts. We need a robust public procurement process that holds larger companies to account for their payment practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Specialist Engineering Contractors\u2019 (SEC) Group also welcomed the proposals. SEC Group chief executive Rudi Klein said that he was pleased by the government\u2019s promise to exclude poor payers from government procurement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been urging the government to introduce a yellow\/red card system for a long time. The yellow card is a warning to improve payment performance and the red card excludes a continuing poor performer from bidding for government contracts for a period of 2 to 3 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Klein added that if such a system had already been in place <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/bifm-offers-to-assist-government-in-the-wake-of-carillion\/38488\/\">Carillion<\/a> would have been excluded from government contracts.<\/p>\n<p>However, SEC Group believes that on payment security the government needs to go further and legislate to require that project bank accounts are put in place for all public sector projects. It also wants the government to back the Private Member\u2019s Bill (now in the House of Commons) that will protect cash retentions.<\/p>\n<p>Klein concluded: \u201cThe Carillion debacle has revealed the appalling level of abuse heaped on construction supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should also be considering the introduction of a statutory regulator (similar to the Groceries Code Adjudicator) to challenge the behaviour of large firms and, if necessary, fine them in the worst cases of abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government has said that main contractors who do not pay their supplier promptly are to be banned from bidding for public sector contracts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[676,276,639],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-40335","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-government","9":"tag-procurement"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Government vows to ban slow paying contractors from public contracts | Planning, Building &amp;
