Doing business with us
Who we do business with
The Home Office carries out its business in a fair, open and transparent manner. It deals with a multitude of local, national or global organisations, from those with just a few employees to those with many thousands. All suppliers to the Home Office are appointed in line with EU regulations relating to public sector procurement, following fair and open competition.
Recognising the important contribution small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) make to the economy, it is government and Home Office policy to encourage this group to bid for Home Office business. If you are a SME then you may be interested in the following websites:
