Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, at what times the position of Crown Representative to DHL was vacant during the last twelve months.

We currently have Crown Representatives assigned to BT and Engie, but not DHL.

While Crown Representative positions are vacant, the responsibilities of the role were covered by the Government’s Chief Commercial Officer and the Cabinet Office Director of Markets and Suppliers.

This is standard practice to cover the role when no Crown Representative is currently appointed for a strategic supplier.
