Information on government suppliers within a specific constituency or region is not held centrally.

Figures provided by major suppliers indicate that for 2012-13 SMEs benefitted by £4bn through the supply chain. Figures for 2013-14 will be published in due course.

A new version of Contracts Finder will be available in due course. This will allow users to search by region and by postcode.
