The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will conduct a review on insourcing public sector language services.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Government will always aim to secure value for money and social value. As part of this, contracting authorities are required to take an analytical evidenced based approach on each contract and undertake a Delivery Model Assessment when making decisions about the right model for delivering public services.

This assessment is the responsibility of the relevant individual contracting authority.
