Ministry of Defence: Contracts (5 March 2018)

Question Asked

What contingency plans his Department has put in place in the event that a private contractor to the Department collapses.

Asked by:
Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

We regularly monitor the status of our most important suppliers and have robust, sustainable measures in place to reduce risk should there be a collapse.

We assess the legal and financial status of the company before placing a contract. We then monitor the financial health and performance of the company throughout the contract, taking action as appropriate.
