Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the operation of the Revise or Confirm Offer procedure in defence procurement; and if he will make a statement.
The Ministry of Defence has made no assessment of the effectiveness of the operation of the revise or confirm offer procedure in defence procurement. Procurement staff may use the revise or confirm offer procedure, on a case-by-case basis to allow a supplier to clarify or improve its bid during a competitive negotiated or single source procurement.
