Lady Hermon – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lady Hermon on 2016-10-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 17 October 2016 to Question 48415, for what reasons the revise or confirm offer procedure was invoked by his Department’s procurement function in relation to construction works at Faslane in 2016; and if he will make a statement.

Harriett Baldwin

The Revise Or Confirm Offer (ROCO) procedure was used because there was a technical issue with all the tenders received which had to be resolved before the Department could accept them.

The ROCO procedure was successful and a Contract may now be awarded in due course.
