Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 24 March 2022 to Question UIN 121770 on Procurement, for what reason aggregated totals of the financial assessments for all companies recorded on his Department's spreadsheet entitled Product VIP Atamis have been deemed commercially sensitive.

The information requested is commercially sensitive as the Department is currently involved in mediation with a number of companies where there are confidentiality undertakings. This protects the commercial interests of the Department and suppliers during this process to ensure we can obtain value for money.
