answer text <p>As set out in the Transport Investment Strategy, rebalancing is a key priority for the Department, and the Government is investing to ensure that its benefits are realised across the country.</p><p>The Department's Rebalancing Toolkit is designed to help authors of Strategic Cases assess how a programme or project fits with the objective of spreading growth across the country. In addition, the Procuring for Growth Balanced Scorecard, which is designed to help ensure that major government procurements have a positive impact on economic growth, forms part of the development of the Commercial Cases for our major projects.</p><p>The Department's major projects also hold extensive supplier engagement programmes and these are often regionally based. For example, HS2 Ltd has engaged with over 5,000 businesses, from every corner of the UK, to promote HS2 supply chain opportunities. They have supported or hosted well over 100 events in the past three years alone, including a roadshow of events in 11 UK cities, including in Belfast.</p><p> </p>
