The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to to encourage the procurement of British-made office products and stationery by (a) her Department and (b) its arms-length bodies.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

Contracts for office products and materials are awarded in compliance with the relevant public procurement regulations to ensure value for money, utilising Crown Commercial Service framework agreements.

Details of government contracts above £12,000 (inc. VAT) are published on Contracts Finder (https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder) and, if procured under the Procurement Act 2023, on the Central Digital Platform (Find a Tender service). This includes a note of winning suppliers. (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Search(opens in a new tab)).
