Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to work to establish a Digital Powerhouse Contract Portal, as recommended in the recent report <i>The Digital Powerhouse: The innovation potential of tech clusters in the North</i>, and to add central government contracts to that portal once established.

There are no current plans to do this.

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) have published the attached detailed guidance on the new transparency requirements for publishing on Contracts Finder.
