PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Home Office: Procurement (16 November 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many times her Department has (a) terminated a contract, (b) imposed a penalty and (c) denied permission for a company to tender on the grounds of grave professional misconduct since November 2015.

Asked by:
Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat)

The Home Office has terminated one (1) contract since November 2015. This contract was terminated by mutual agreement with the supplier not because of poor performance but because a different replacement contract was required to support the change in project requirements.

The Department is not aware of any providers being denied opportunities to bid as a result of grave misconduct.
