Context
No specific background or incident is mentioned, but the question arises from a need to assess the current adequacy of procurement policies post-Brexit transition.
Question
What recent assessment has been made of the adequacy of Government procurement policy?
Answer from Julia Lopez
The end of the transition period provides an historic opportunity to overhaul our dated public procurement regime. We undertook an extensive programme of stakeholder engagement to identify where improvements could be made, and the recently published Green Paper sets out those long-planned proposals. The changes put value for money and transparency at the heart of the new approach and will cut red tape and unleash wider social benefits from public money spent on procurement.
Not addressed: The question specifically asked about a recent assessment, but no specific recent evaluation was provided; instead, general plans for improvement were discussed.
