Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 17 October 2016 to Question 48415, for what reasons the revise or confirm offer procedure was invoked by his Department's procurement function in relation to construction works at Faslane in 2016; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 25th October 2016
The Revise Or Confirm Offer (ROCO) procedure was used because there was a technical issue with all the tenders received which had to be resolved before the Department could accept them.
The ROCO procedure was successful and a Contract may now be awarded in due course.
