Each year the public sector spends a huge amount of money and is always looking for new suppliers.
However small your business, there are always opportunities to enter this market.
Even if you are already supplying one part of the public sector, it is worth looking for opportunities in other areas.
Public-sector organisations are good customers.
They have to be fair, honest and professional in the way they
choose suppliers and in any dealings with them.
Most are also long-standing, stable customers, and have
to pay promptly and in line with agreed contract terms.
Public-sector organisations have to pay accounts within 30 days
(or any other agreed credit period) of receiving a valid bill or invoice.
You may also find that trading successfully with the public
sector can give added credibility with private-sector customers.
