PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(15 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 31 October 2024 to Question 11029 on Government Departments: Procurement, what the criteria will be for including a foreign company on the debarment list.

Asked by:
Mr Richard Holden (Conservative)

Answer

The Procurement Act 2023 does not differentiate between domestic and foreign suppliers . For any supplier to be added to the debarment list, a minister of the crown must be satisfied that the supplier is either an excluded or excludable supplier (as defined in s.57 of the Procurement Act 2023) and must consider that the supplier should be added to the debarment list.
