Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many times certificates of past performance have been requested by in-scope organisations as set out in the Public Procurement Note published on 25 March 2015; and what proportion of all contracts above the value of £20 million have included a Certificate of Past Performance.

Since the Procurement Policy Note – Taking Account of Suppliers’ Past Performance (PPN 04/15) was published on 25 March 2015, the Cabinet Office has received 295 performance certificates.

Information is not held centrally on what proportion of all contracts above the value of £20 million have included a Certificate of Past Performance.
