Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps the Government is taking to support British digital and cloud services its companies through procurement policies.

Public sector procurers are required to seek value for money through fair and open competition and in line with our current international obligations.

The Government wants UK companies to be successful in public procurement, and we are seeking to ensure the huge purchasing power of government supports the task of boosting growth, and enables us to actively shape the UK market for the long term.
