answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2024 answer text <p>The Intangible asset relates to build costs of a bespoke software solution to capture strategic information across government property. A recovery of £300,000 (incl VAT) was made from the technology supplier. This recovery is not reflected in the £1,202,000 figure (on page 123).</p><p>The project approach changed as the technology supplier was unable to deliver a solution to meet the requirements, despite multiple deadline extensions. Based on commercial advice, the contract was terminated. A new contract has now been awarded to a provider of an off-the-shelf product, which is currently being configured. Where possible, products that were developed in the previous written off solution, such as user requirements and data standard, have been recycled for the current delivery.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 01/03/2024 14:31:52 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government Commercial Function has provided general guidance on handling inflationary pressures to Contracting Authorities. It would not be appropriate to comment on the content or guidance specifically as this is commercially sensitive. The interpretation and application of the guidance is wholly within the remit of a Contracting Authority. The food sector was not uniquely identified within the guidance.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Somerset answering member printed Mr Jacob Rees-Mogg question first answered 08/06/2022 14:56:50 answering member 4099 label Biography information for Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2021 answer text <p>Since the pilot of ‘Making the Civil Service a Great Place to Work for Veterans’ was launched on 5 October 2020, up to 31 December 2020, unvalidated data shows that 856 veterans have applied for jobs using the scheme (6% of total applicants), with 9 job offers made to veterans (13% of all job offers). This indicates that on participating vacancies, a higher proportion of job offers are held by veterans compared to the proportion of all applicants who are veterans. In addition to this, since the launch of the pilot in four Government departments, the Welsh Government and National Crime Agency have joined the scheme, ensuring a higher number of vacancies are made available to veterans.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 03/02/2021 17:36:41 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
