Roger Godsiff – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Roger Godsiff on 2014-04-28.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what account his Department takes of previous performance on government contracts when assessing bids for new contracts.

Dr Daniel Poulter

The Department has implemented the Government’s best practice for assessing past performance in its contracts and takes past performance into account as part of a legal and commercial compliance test for any contracts which are greater than £20 million in value. This is in line with the Cabinet Office Procurement Policy Note, Action Note 09/12, issued on 8 November 2012.
