Written Question

Government Departments: Procurement

Monday 17th April 2023

Asked by: Baroness Adams of Craigielea (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many suppliers to government departments have been excluded from subsequent procurement processes on the grounds of either fraud or corruption.

Answered by Baroness Neville-Rolfe - Minister of State (Cabinet Office)

The grounds for the exclusion of bidders from public procurement procedures are set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. These rules set out the circumstances in which bidders must, or may, be excluded from a public procurement process.

In all cases, individual departments and other public sector bodies are responsible for their own decisions on these matters, and will hold their own records. This information is not held centrally.
