Treasury: Contracts

Asked by Esther McVeyConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 6 March 2025UIN 34833

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many public contracts awarded by her Department since 5 July 2024 have been awarded to companies with offshore tax arrangements.

Answered by James Murray

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

Where it makes business sense to do so, HM Treasury procures goods and services via Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework agreements. Suppliers on those agreements must comply with the requirements of Procurement Policy Note 03/2014.
