Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent on 9 June (HL581), (1) which companies are currently on the debarment list, and (2) whether each such company is listed as a company that either "must" or "may" be excluded from future contracts.

Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers may only be added to the debarment list by Ministerial decision, following an investigation conducted by the Debarment Review Service. This is a new power that came into force on 24 February 2025.

No suppliers are currently on the debarment list.
