The Government is also committed to growing the economy for a diverse range of businesses, voluntary bodies and other social providers. It will promote a public service economy based on open ICT markets with increased participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and mutuals driving growth and creating jobs.The Government is already reducing the barriers that prevent SME participation in its ICT, for example through accelerated and less burdensome procurement regimes. It will create a competitive and open ICT market where SMEs will be given a fair chance to compete for opportunities. To do this, where possible, the Government will move away from large and expensive ICT contracts, with a presumption that no contract will be greater than £100 million.It will also open its data and application interfaces in ways which encourage businesses and social providers to serve new market opportunities.
