answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2024 answer text <p>In procuring construction works, the department takes account of relevant legislation, best practice and government guidelines. In deciding whether cash retentions are appropriate for procurements, the department balances managing public money considerations, the suitability of alternative approaches, and the need to ensure and enforce quality standards against the department’s desire to improve payment practices and cashflow through the supply-chain. The department regularly reviews its approach to payment and security in relation to construction procurements. In considering the use of cash retentions on future procurements, including in its construction frameworks, the department will continue to consult with contractors and other stakeholders to ensure that an appropriate position is reached and, where possible, that the use of cash retentions is reduced or eliminated.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 08/02/2024 13:37:07 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
