	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government has a long-established approach to identifying, developing and managing collaborative business relationships. For example, the Government recognises the importance of managing its relationships with strategic suppliers, on a cross-government basis, by observing their performance in the delivery of public services and monitoring financial health.</p><p>This year, the Government introduced a new approach to the monitoring and management of strategic suppliers through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the government and each of our strategic suppliers. The approach of using an MOU reflects the Government’s now well-developed relationships with, and understanding of, its strategic suppliers. Under this new approach, strategic suppliers will agree to provide the government with the information it needs to monitor and manage risks across its strategic supplier base, with the full cooperation of industry.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 11/06/2019 17:01:16 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham

We will also require all departments to report on the social impact<br>of major new procurements.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 11/06/2019 14:38:07 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
