Public Sector: Procurement
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether a Procurement Innovation Champion has been appointed as set out in the Autumn Budget 2024.
Answered by Chris Ward
At the Autumn Budget, the Chancellor set out that each Department should appoint a Procurement of Innovation Champion at Director General level to act as driving forces for behavioural change and to support the identification and adoption of innovation opportunities across the organisation.
His Majesty’s Treasury (HMT) and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) are co-ordinating the appointment of Procurement Innovation Champions and will publish an update on this shortly.
