Marketing and selling to the public sector in 2023: Benefits, challenges and best practice
The public sector is a lucrative market and opportunities to market to and sell into it are vast. However, selling into the public sector is a much more complicated process than selling to corporate or private businesses.
Real success requires patience as the procurement process is often complicated and can take time. But if you’re prepared to commit to the long haul and put in the effort, the opportunity is there to build strong partnerships with much tighter barriers to competitors than in the private sector.
The good news is that it is much easier to sell into the public sector now than in it has been in the past. The government, for example, has recently committed to spending £1 in every £3 with small and medium-sized companies to increase innovation within the SME sector.
There’s also a new public procurement regime on the horizon, which will simplify the procurement process, change the way it is regulated, and give greater flexibility to public procurement professionals.
If there was ever an ideal time to start selling to the public sector, it is now.
