In a free trial lasting until the end of July public sector contracts worth up to £100,000 each will be made available to small businesses that register at a government website.
Over 3,000 contracts throughout the UK will be posted on the website each month as part of the Department for Business Enterprise Strategy to increase the amount of business won by small companies.
Business Minister Shriti Vadera said: "Small and medium sized businesses need our support to expand. Many smaller businesses are more innovative, have lower costs and present better value for taxpayers than larger firms.
"Introducing Britain's small firms to Government procurement contracts online will provide opportunities to grow that they would not have otherwise found.
"Encouraging more small businesses to register for opportunities will mean buyers benefit from increased competition and access to a wider range of suppliers."
