Government Departments: Procurement

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to paragraph 13 of the information note Open Book Contract Management, published by the Crown Commercial Service in May 2016, who provided the services of the 3rd party provider; and how much was paid for that service.

Answer

Procurement Policy Note 05/16 required organisations within the scope of the Procurement Policy Note to make an initial assessment of their contract portfolios to establish where Open Book Contract Management can be applied and to what extent.

The services of a third party provider were be made available to any organisation that did not have or did not choose to use internal resources to carry out this assessment.

We have no record of any organisation choosing to make use of the third party.
