Episode Details

The UK government unveils new guidelines, prioritizing British suppliers for public contracts in strategic sectors like shipbuilding, steel, AI, and energy infrastructure, citing national security concerns. Departments must favor local firms and justify foreign steel usage. A Public Interest Test is introduced for large outsourced contracts, and larger departments must publish plans to bring services back in-house. Buying decisions will consider community impact, and new AI tools will simplify bidding for small businesses and charities. This shift aims to bolster resilience and support local workers.
