Cabinet Office: Procurement

Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 25 March 2025UIN 38879

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many procurement contracts awarded by his Department have been terminated due to non-performance since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Cabinet Office has previously not kept a central record of contracts terminated due to non-performance.

When contracts awarded under the Procurement Act 2023 (which came into force 24 February 2025) come to an end, the Contracting Authority must publish a Contract Termination Notice on Find A Tender – the central digital platform for all UK public sector contract notices. No Termination Notices have yet been published for contracts awarded under the Procurement Act 2023.
