In October 2022, the Council for Science and Technology (CST) provided advice to the Prime Minister on how the government can use public procurement to stimulate innovation and drive growth in pursuit of national goals. CST recommended action in the following areas:

  • Better signalling of national priorities for technology development and of public sector operational needs

  • Improve governance through stronger leadership and accountability for radical change, with clear targets for departments on innovation-focussed procurement

  • Build professional skills in government to create technically, commercially, and operationally literate procurement teams that can support across all stages of technology development

  • Test new approaches to delivery of innovation-focussed procurement and share learning
