The private sector has an important role to play in helping deliver much needed reforms. We remain committed to promoting a diverse market including public, private and voluntary sectors, as well as ensuring rigorous contract management and high standards of behavior.
We have undertaken a major review of contract management to ensure that we have in place robust and accountable systems. We will continue to improve our commercial capability and share this crucial learning across Government.
When buying products and services we always seek best value for taxpayers’ money and find savings were possible.
