Government Departments: Procurement
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps she is taking to ensure that the Government's definition of social value rewards bidders who support businesses across the supply chain and create jobs.
Answered by Cabinet Office
Businesses bidding for government contracts will be judged on their commitment to creating high-quality jobs, tackling skills shortages and supporting young people into apprenticeships and work placements. The Cabinet Office is developing detailed guidance on social value for publication later this autumn.
