Government Departments: Contracts
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reason the dataset of Key Performance Indicators for government’s most important contracts was published on 25 December 2025.
Answered by Chris Ward
The timetable for publishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is set by the Government Commercial Function (GCF). Data for July to September 2025 was published on time, and in the usual way, with publication usually on the final Thursday of the month.
Since this Government has come into office, the GCF has shortened the overall publication timeline of KPIs from approximately 16 to 12 weeks. This allows for the performance data to be published closer to the reporting period, thereby improving the transparency of government contract performance for the public.
