SME Zone – LGPE 2026

Small businesses.
Big conversations.

A dedicated section of the LGPE 2026 exhibition floor, designed to give smaller businesses a direct route into the local government market. Meet the buyers. Make the case.

9 SME Stands
800+ Delegates
250+ Buying Organisations

Local government spends billions of pounds each year on goods and services, and there is a growing appetite to work with SMEs that can offer agility, innovation, and genuine local knowledge.

The SME Zone at LGPE 2026 is a practical response to that. Nine stands. One focused space. An audience of procurement professionals who are actively looking for new suppliers and fresh ideas.

Why the SME Zone?

Procurement reform under the Procurement Act 2023 places greater emphasis on SME access and market engagement. LGPE 2026 gives smaller suppliers a credible platform to build relationships, raise their profile, and demonstrate what they can deliver for public services.
