Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many companies are listed on the Government’s Debarment List under the exclusion regime in the Procurement Act 2023.

The Government is committed to tackling misconduct in public procurement. All contracting authorities and suppliers are expected to act, and be seen to act, with integrity. The debarment regime came into effect on 24 February 2025. We will not hesitate to make use of those powers where there is evidence of wrongdoing where appropriate.

In order for any supplier to be added to the debarment list, an investigation must be undertaken.

The outcomes of debarment investigations will be published here. Currently there are no suppliers included on the debarment list.
