Guidance on the use of this framework, issued jointly by Government Digital Service and Crown Commercial Service, is set out in the G-Cloud buyer’s guide. Our approach is that procurement decisions should be based on the buyer’s service requirements, rather than the size of supplier companies.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2017 answer text <p>UK taxpayers support the agricultural sector in variety of ways: through the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), spending on agricultural research and development, including the Agri-tech Strategy, and indirectly through wider programmes such as on skills development. The benefit of each pound spent on the Agri-tech Strategy was estimated to be £9 (BIS Evaluation Plan 2016)[1]. The estimated benefit, on average, for funds spent in England under Pillar 2 of the CAP is over £3 per pound spent according to the Rural Development Plan for England Impact Assessment 2015[2], but less than £1 per pound spent for Pillar 1 according to a report on implementation of CAP in England in 2013[3]. As a result of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union there is a real opportunity to improve returns to taxpayer support for agriculture.</p><p> </p><p>[1] BIS Evaluation Plan 2016</p><p>[2] The Rural Development Programme for England, 2014 to 2020: Final Impact Assessment (2015)</p><p>[3] Implementation of CAP reform in England 2013</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/03/2017 12:12:31 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
