How Our Platform Helps You Smash Your PPN 001 Targets

From Policy to Practice — Turning PPN 001 Commitments into Results

Here’s the reality check: PPN 001’s vision is achievable, but not if departments try to manage it with spreadsheets, manual reporting, and the occasional market engagement webinar.

Targets need tracking. Gaps need identifying. Progress needs proving. And in my experience, waiting for “the system” to fix itself means nothing changes until the next policy note comes along.

That’s why we built our platform — to help buyers move now, not in two years’ time when the pressure is on.

“With the right tools, you don’t have to wait for government systems to catch up.”

How we help turn targets into tangible results:

• Spot precise opportunities to grow SME/VCSE spend — Not vague encouragement, but pinpointing the contracts, categories, and regions where SME participation is low but viable.

• Track in real time — Monthly insights mean no nasty surprises at year-end.

“This is your elephant — and we’ll help you eat it one bite at a time.”

• Engage the right suppliers — We surface SMEs and VCSEs that meet your needs today, not after months of searching.

• Simplify reporting — Ready-to-submit outputs in the exact Cabinet Office format. Hours of admin gone.

• Stay compliant — Features aligned with the Procurement Act 2023 so you’re covered on the broader reforms too.

I’m optimistic about PPN 001 — but only if we stop thinking of it as something to “launch” in 2025 and start treating it as something we can improve on today.

Think of it like planting a tree: the best time was years ago, the second best time is now. The sooner we start making small, measurable improvements, the sooner we build the momentum that makes the big shifts inevitable.
