Public Digital: Contracts
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will commission an investigation by the Government Internal Audit Agency into contracts awarded to Public Digital since 4 July 2024.
Answered by Chris Ward
The Government Internal Audit Agency sits within HM Treasury. The Procurement Review Unit (PRU) sits within Cabinet Office and is responsible for the new oversight powers introduced by the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) (which commenced on 24 February 2025) which governs the award of public contracts. The PRU has not received a referral to investigate contracts awarded to Public Digital.
