PIPELINE
Government Procurement is Broken.
For too long, the barrier to entry for public sector contracts hasn't been the quality of your tech but your success at navigating the maze of bureaucracy and paperwork. It's left public services in the UK in crisis - and frontline workers using backward tech. The same old incumbents still see the lion's share of contracts, while government buyers don't even know you exist. This has to change.
Introducing Pipeline - the direct link between Britain's most innovative startups and the government buyers who need them brought to you by the Startup Coalition.
Our mission is clear: we want to put the very best tech in Britain's startup and scaleup ecosystem in the hands of Britain's frontline public sector workers and create not just opportunities for startups, but fix our broken public services too.
Pipeline will be the convening point for buyers and builders, designed to strip away the risk-averse culture of procurement pipeline. We aren't just asking for better policy; we're creating a space where startups and government buyers can meet, demo, and do business.
We're building as we go, and we'll be listening to your input from the coalface on both sides (startup and the public sector) as we shape Pipeline's offer - so if you're interested and want to help us, or you're a startup or scaleup in the UK looking to get your tech in the hands of Britain's public sector - sign up below and we'll be in touch with more details.
