Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent assessment he has made of the capacity of strategic suppliers to fulfil their Government contracts.
Contracting Authorities assess the performance of strategic suppliers as a regular part of contract management. In accordance with the published Cabinet Office Strategic Supplier Risk Management (SSRM) policy, the Commercial Relationships Board (CRB) meets regularly to monitor overall performance and assess risk ratings for strategic suppliers.
