Public Sector: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 23 June 2026 to Question 9768 on bus manufacturing and public procurement, when the Government intends to publish updated procurement guidance reflecting the new definition of social value for public procurement.
- Answer
-
The Government has announced its intention to redefine social value in central government procurement, to put community impact at the heart of public procurement decisions. This will help to ensure public expenditure directly targets the creation of local jobs, skills, apprenticeships, and regional opportunities for growth.
We are working with a range of stakeholders to develop this definition and will publish it shortly.
