The latest update contains spending plans from more Government departments and more information from local authorities including 500 highways jobs.

The release is part of a wider public procurement push by Cabinet Minister Francis Maude who detailed £70bn of opportunities across all industries today.

Maude said: “Never before has a government been so open about its long-term business needs.

“Industry leaders recognise the value of publishing these pipelines and that is why they support our reforms which will boost growth.

“Publishing data on what we plan to buy – whether it’s tunnels or computers – means we can identify skills gaps sooner and give industry a heads up so UK businesses are in a better position to compete.”
