PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Food: Procurement (19 December 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what the timeline for introducing the balanced scorecard approach to public procurement decisions for food and catering services is.

Asked by:
Kerry McCarthy (Labour)

The use of the Balanced Scorecard approach becomes mandatory for all central government departments and their agencies as existing contracts are renewed. This has now been enshrined in the updated Crown Commercial Service Facilities Management (FM) Framework which becomes effective early in 2018. The FM Framework is updated every 4 years.
