Formerly Reform think tank. Re:State is an independent, cross-party public services think tank. We don’t want to tweak, we want to transform.
Budget day means it's also Re:Act day!

The Re:State team has been busily reading and analysing today's Budget to bring you a snap analysis that gets behind the spin to get to the deeper changes and their implications.

🚨NEW REPORT: PROCURE AND SIMPLE🚨

Govt spends ~£400bn a year procuring goods & services, but regularly fails to secure value for the taxpayer.

In this report, Re:State proposes a simplified, less risk-averse & more proportionate model, focused on crowding in more suppliers.
