Industry: Procurement

(asked on 5th June 2018) - View Source

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he had made of the potential merits of mission-based procurement as part of the Government's Industrial Strategy.


This question was answered on 11th June 2018

A mission-based approach is central to our modern Industrial Strategy. The Industrial Strategy set out four Grand Challenges where Britain can lead the global technological revolution: in artificial intelligence and the data revolution; the global shift to clean growth; the ageing society; and the future of mobility. To further the Grand Challenges, we will take a mission-oriented approach to guide efforts; bringing industry, researchers and government together to solve practical problems and accelerate innovation.

This will include using all government policy levers at our disposal, including in procurement, to achieve these ambitions.
