2023 Analysis of UK Government Strategic Suppliers

2023 Analysis of UK Government Strategic Suppliers

Posted by James Piggott Picture of James Piggott on 11 December 2023

Introduction

Around a third of UK government spending goes on the procurement of goods and services from third-party suppliers, ranging from paper clips to major infrastructure projects.

Some of these suppliers are deemed so critical to the delivery of essential public services that the Cabinet Office designates them as 'Strategic Suppliers' to the government.

As of December 2023, there were 39 Strategic Suppliers.

In this blog, we provide an overview of:

A much more extensive analysis of the Strategic Suppliers can be found in our full 2023 Strategic Suppliers Report. To download the full report, click here.

❓ What is a Strategic Supplier?


The Strategic Suppliers are private sector companies whose relationship with the government is centrally coordinated through the Cabinet Office, due to the strategic importance of the goods and services they provide.

Though not an official requirement, the government typically spends over £100 million per year with these suppliers.

The Cabinet Office manages the Strategic Supplier programme as part of its responsibility for supporting 'collective government' and promoting efficiency and reform through better procurement and project management.

  • Since 2011, each Strategic Supplier has had a 'Crown Representative' within the Cabinet Office. Crown Representatives act as a focal point for suppliers and help the government to act as a single customer. They ensure that the government is communicating a consistent message to its suppliers, identify areas for cost savings and coordinate cross-departmental procurement issues.

  • Since 2019, the Cabinet Office has operated a 'Memorandums of Understanding' approach with the Strategic Suppliers. The MOU approach puts the onus on suppliers to provide the government with the information it needs to monitor and manage risks. The Cabinet Office argue this policy is more efficient and flexible, and increases the accountability of these suppliers to the government.

💡  What are the pros and cons of becoming a Strategic Supplier?


Making it onto the government's Strategic Supplier list is a major accomplishment for any company.

With a dedicated Crown Representative, Strategic Suppliers' relationships to the government are managed more centrally and strategically. Their close proximity to the heart of government will offer unrivalled liaising opportunities with key procurement stakeholders.

On the other hand, becoming a Strategic Supplier comes with much greater scrutiny and oversight. The Strategic Supplier programme's use of MOUs means, as the Cabinet Office describe, "strategic suppliers will agree to provide the government with the information it needs to monitor and manage risks", with the aim of increasing "accountability".

 

👥  Who are the Strategic Suppliers?


As of November 2023, there are 39 companies designated as Strategic Suppliers.

This is a dynamic list. From May 2022 - December 2023, for example, one company - Tilbury Douglas - was added to the list, whilst two were removed, Motorola and Interserve. The addition or removal of Strategic Supplies can happen at any time, changing with who the government deems as strategically important at a given time.

The Strategic Suppliers operate in sectors across the UK economy, including telecoms, defence, IT, consultancy, facilities management and construction.

How are they performing recently?

Tussell's 2023 Strategic Suppliers Report found that in FY22/23 the public sector spent more on procurement overall, but less with the Strategic Suppliers. Between FY21/22 and FY22/23, the Strategic Suppliers' public sector revenue collectively declined by 17%, resulting in a drop of total market share from from 11% to 9%.

Some of the key findings from our Strategic Suppliers Report include:

  • 2/3rds of Strategic Suppliers saw their public sector revenue decline

  • Only 5 of the 39 Strategic Suppliers had direct public sector revenue of £1b or more in FY22/23. All of the companies earned over £100m.

  • Only 11 of the 39 Strategic Suppliers managed to grow their direct public sector revenue in FY22/23.

  • Central government remains the biggest buyer with Strategic Suppliers

  • 20 public sector buyers accounted for 3/4ths of the Strategic Suppliers' revenue

📝  What were the biggest frameworks used by the Strategic Suppliers in FY22/23?

Data shows that, across the public sector, frameworks are becoming more popular as an alternative to open competition.

The Strategic Suppliers exemplify this trend. In FY22/23, 37% of their combined contract value was won through frameworks, up from 12% in FY18/19.

Of the total value of contracts won by the Strategic Suppliers, over one-third was won via a framework agreement. With call-offs accounting for a large chunk of the Strategic Suppliers' work, it is critical to find out which frameworks they are using.
