A recent report highlights the transformative potential of UK government procurement for the domestic steel sector. The report suggests that by prioritizing the purchase of UK-made steel for public projects, the government could significantly boost the industry.

Currently, a substantial portion of steel used in government projects is imported, costing taxpayers billions. By shifting procurement policies to favor domestic steel, the UK could support local manufacturers, create jobs, and strengthen the economy. The report emphasizes the need for a strategic approach to procurement to maximize these benefits.
