Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the statement of required works agreed by his Department with Investigo Ltd on 21 March under framework contract RM6160 order number C81123, published on 1 July; and the timetable for completion of those works.

There is no specific statement of required works for this contract, as a suitably qualified and experienced individual was identified through existing resources.

The contract with Investigo provides this individual to undertake a number of functions in the Contract Dissolution Team. The team ensures that suppliers of personal protective equipment meet contract obligations and service level agreements; facilitates the resolution of contractual disputes and agrees, processes and publishes any resulting agreements or improvement commitments; and provides analysis of supplier performance.

The Contract Dissolution Team is contracted to provide these functions until end of March 2023. However, this could be extended based on the progress of contract dissolution.
