BREXIT MEANS WE RUN OUR OWN COUNTRY AGAIN
Summary:
Changes brought into effect immediately after formally exiting the EU transition period, allow for public services procurement to be reserved below a given threshold, so that only local businesses and suppliers are able to tender for the contract – ensuring that smaller tenders for local improvements are provided by local businesses where possible, keeping investment in the local area.
