The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 contain exclusion grounds which allow contracting authorities to exclude suppliers from procurements where their tender does not comply with labour law or where the supplier is guilty of grave professional misconduct. A breach of the Blacklists Regulations on a particular tender would render the supplier liable to exclusion and a breach more widely may amount to grave professional misconduct.</p><p>In all cases, individual departments and other public sector bodies are responsible for their own decisions on these matters</p><p>The Procurement Bill introduced by the Government, currently in the final stages of debate in Parliament, builds on and clarifies the exclusions measures in the existing regime. This includes specific measures enabling the exclusion of suppliers for labour market misconduct and professional misconduct.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart grouped question UIN 193808 193823 question first answered 17/07/2023 16:42:36 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart
