answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>National Health Service bodies set their own policies on how to award contracts, but they must do so in line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and central policy. The Government uses a standard selection questionnaire that requires suppliers to confirm they meet certain standards. Suppliers can be excluded for a variety of reasons, including where they are guilty of grave professional misconduct or where they have shown significant or persistent deficiencies in the performance under a prior public contract. Information on the policy relating to the Standard Selection Questionnaire is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ppn-0323-standard-selection-questionnaire-sq" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ppn-0323-standard-selection-questionnaire-sq</a></p><p>From an ethical perspective this also includes references to Social Value, Modern Slavery and Carbon Reduction policies.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 11/09/2023 14:13:35 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2023 answer text <p>NHS England is subject to Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015 and conducts procurements in adherence to the PCR. The procurements for the Federated Data Platform, which is awaiting final approval, and Privacy Enhancing Technology, which is currently in evaluation stage, are no exception.</p><p>NHS England has followed a fair, open, and transparent procurement process for both procurements. Both processes were open procedures that invited any suppliers to participate who could meet NHS England’s minimum criteria and deliver the requirements. Extensive pre-market engagement was undertaken, with all notices published on the Government’s Find A Tender and Contracts Finder sites. NHS England has been transparent with the process that has been followed, which is detailed in the tender documents published on NHS England’s e-tendering system, and has published all evaluation criteria, in accordance with PCR. Tenders have been independently evaluated by subject matter experts from across the National Health Service.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 13/09/2023 16:38:10 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
