To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to ask the Competition and Markets Authority to investigate whether the procurement processes described in Dame Margaret Hodge's review of the proposed London Garden Bridge, published on 7 April, comply with best practice for government-funded projects.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) makes independent decisions on what to investigate. If there is information suggesting that anti-competitive collusion or abuse of dominant position might have occurred, it can be shared with the CMA. The CMA will consider whether there are matters that should be investigated under its enforcement powers.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their response to the report by Gary Sturgess Just Another Paperclip? Rethinking the Market for Complex Public Services, published by the Business Services Association on 31 March.
In considering the long-term provision of public services via third-party contracts, the Government Chief Commercial Officer must work with Departments to address the five points made in Dr Sturgess’s report: sustainability, relationships, contracting process, capability and allocation of risks. It is recognised that much needs to be done; but recent progress has been rapid with the introduction of commercial operating standards, a central recruitment hub backed by an Assessment Centre, and more attractive remuneration for commercial specialists. The system of commercial standards drives adherence to policy, and departmental and functional governance ensure our commercial behaviours are on-market and sustainable.

The objective of Government support for business is to put the United Kingdom in a strong position for the future, promoting a diversity of businesses and industrial sectors, as well as ensuring the benefits of growth are shared across cities and regions up and down the country.
The Government regularly showcases the best that British business has to offer, for example through its GREAT Britain campaign, which aims to inspire the world and encourage people to do business with manufacturers in the UK. On 21 April we announced the winners of the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise; 176 businesses from across the UK have been recognised for their contribution to international trade, innovation, sustainable development and this year’s new award, promoting opportunity. Some of these companies have previously benefitted from public funding, thus demonstrating the real benefits to businesses and society that can be derived from properly-targeted Government support.

(£000s) | 637 | 531 | 521 | 847 | 858 | 894 | 852 |
The figures are based upon average staff costs and the costs of external procurement services. From August 2013, the figures include an element equivalent to two full time posts which is part of a shared purchasing service to the GLD, AGO and HMCPSI and described below.
The spend by the Government Legal Department (GLD), Attorney General’s Office (AGO) and HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) is as follows:
Year | 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 | 2015-16 | 2016-17 |

Individual Serious Fraud Office (SFO) teams are responsible for the day-to-day contract management of expert services and lower value contracts that fall within their business areas. Senior members of case teams are also responsible for the management of counsel and other experts engaged on SFO cases. The SFO does not hold central records on the contract management time spent by each and every staff member involved and such information could only be provided at a disproportionate cost.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 28 February 2017 to Question 65407, on procurement, what estimate he has made of the total budget for procurement management in each year since 2010.
Contract management in general is not a specific role in my Department and is considered as only part of the job of the individuals mentioned in the response of 65407. We therefore cannot provide a budget for this part of their roles as the grades of the civil servants and the amount of time required to manage or oversee each contract varies depending on its size, scope and nature.
