As part of the UK government’s ongoing commitment to support the sustainability of the steel sector, Minister for Investment Lord Grimstone today (12 March 2021) launched and co-chaired, alongside Gareth Stace of UK Steel, the inaugural meeting of the Steel Procurement Taskforce.
The Steel Procurement Taskforce brings together representatives from across the UK government, the 6 major steel companies in the UK, as well as UK Steel, the sector’s trade association, trade unions and the devolved administrations. It will meet regularly over the coming year and aims to explore what government and industry can do to address challenges the sector has reported facing in competing for and securing public contracts.
