Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department takes to assess supply chain risks in government procurement.
This question was answered on 26th February 2018
Each contract has its own risk profile and government has always worked to reduce risk.
Government contracts are never awarded lightly: each contract is awarded following a transparent and robust process. Government fully complies with procurement regulations and follows these diligently when advertising and awarding contracts, including assessing suppliers’ suitability.
