The Department plans to publish detailed school level CDC data. This data is being prepared and will be published as soon as possible.</p><p>Well maintained, safe school buildings are a priority for the Department. Over £13 billion has been allocated for improving the condition of schools since 2015, including £1.8 billion committed this financial year. The 10-year School Rebuilding Programme is condition led and 400 of the 500 available places on the programme have now been provisionally allocated.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 27/02/2023 17:19:04 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	150506
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2023 answer text <p>We are increasing opportunities for SMEs in a variety of ways - from transparently publishing contract pipelines to simplifying bidding processes. The new procurement regime this Conservative government is putting in place with our new freedoms outside the European Union will create a simpler and significantly more transparent system that will further open up public procurement to SMEs so that they can compete for and win more public contracts.</p><p>The latest procurement figures for 2020/21 show that £19.3bn was paid to SMEs to help deliver vital public services. This figure is an increase of £3.7bn on the previous year and the highest since a Conservative led Government began recording the amount spent on SMEs in 2013, something not done under the last Labour government.</p><p>SMEs in the food supply chain have been consulted as part of supplier engagement activities for the proposed Buying Better Foods framework. Feedback from these activities shaped the procurement strategy for the framework agreement. SME producers will have increased opportunities to work with the public sector.</p><p>Customers will be able to request nominated local products (subject to the local supplier/producer meeting the minimum technical standards). These products would be consolidated into a single delivery with their food order. This is in addition to the SME’s already supplying the Wholesale market. This agreement will further support SMEs as KPIs will be established within the procurement evaluation to establish and monitor SME participation with action plans for growth; giving more data and transparency within the sector.</p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart grouped question UIN 150421 150423 question first answered 27/02/2023 18:55:11 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart
