(asked on 15th January 2019) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what evaluation they have made of the role of the Public Procurement Review Service in speeding up payments to suppliers.
This question was answered on 22nd January 2019
Since the start of the Public Procurement Review Service (previously known as the Mystery Shopper Service), 226 late payment cases have been handled by the team. To date, in excess of £5.7m worth of late invoices have been unblocked by the service
The amount owed to smaller businesses in late payments has more than halved in the past five years, but we want to go further.
