answer text

The Cabinet Office has reviewed the standard forms of contract it uses. There are clauses about interaction between the parties, how to protect the parties’ best interests and safeguard commercial and sensitive information which are long established in government contracts. These clauses are not intended to stop criticism of Ministers, the Department or its policies. Since January 2011, details of central government contracts above the value of £10,000 are published on Contracts Finder. Contracts published prior to 26 February 2015 can be viewed at: <a href="https://data.gov.uk/data/contracts-finder-archive" target="_blank">https://data.gov.uk/data/contracts-finder-archive</a> Those published after 26 February 2015 can be viewed at: <a href="https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search" target="_blank">https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Search</a>”
