“Now in its seventh year in the UK, the Small Business Saturday campaign has grown significantly each year.
An estimated £812 million spent in small businesses across the UK during Small Business Saturday 2018, representing an increase of 8% on Small Business Saturday 2017.
Council agrees:
1) To proactively and visibly promote, support and publicise Small Business Saturday 2019, during the run-up to, and on that date, which is Saturday 7th December; and
2) To call for a report to Finance & Resources Committee within 2 cycles setting out:
i) The level of procurement by £ and by service area currently awarded to small business, including social enterprises, by the Council and its ALEOS;
ii) What if any, barriers exist to small business and social enterprises in terms of being eligible to bid to provide goods/services to the Council and its ALEOS;
iii) What policy and procedural changes would be necessary to enable any barriers to be overcome?”
