The UK government's 39 strategic suppliers sit at the heart of the public sector market.
Tussell's eighth annual Strategic Suppliers Report reveals how these critical companies performed in FY24/25 – and what this means for the sector.
The latest analysis reveals that the strategic suppliers are losing ground. Their share of the government market has dropped to a five-year low, and revenue is down across the board.
