Crown Representatives

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department has taken since January 2018 to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Crown Representatives.

Answer

The Crown Representatives fulfil an important role in a wider system of assurance and supplier relationship management and participate in regular sharing of knowledge and best practice. We continually review the Crown Representatives through feedback mechanisms. We have reviewed the portfolio and allocation of Strategic Suppliers, have recently appointed new Crown Representatives and new Strategic Suppliers to the programme and have changed Crown Representative and others to new suppliers where appropriate.

The Crown Representatives are part time and are fully supported by a full time Markets and Suppliers team which comprises a number of relationship managers and business analysts.
