Mandatory exclusion grounds include convictions for forced labour and human trafficking offences. Discretionary grounds include violations of obligations in the field of environmental, social and labour laws.<\/p>
It is the responsibility of individual contracting authorities to ensure suppliers meet their contractual obligations and this is achieved through effective contract management. Such contracts have a range of mechanisms to enable performance to be managed and issues to be addressed, which includes termination.<\/p>
The Home Office have developed and piloted a modern slavery supplier assessment tool to assess risk of modern slavery in supply chains, which has been trialled in five departments and is currently being updated prior to further roll-out. The Cabinet Office is also working with the Home Office to develop guidance for departments in identifying and tackling modern slavery, particularly in high risk sectors.

The Cabinet Office\u2019s Guide to Making Legislation sets out that an impact assessment is generally required for any primary legislation that is of a regulatory nature that affects the private sector and/or civil society organisation or public services.<\/p>
<\/p>
Guidance for government departments on undertaking these regulatory impact assessments is published online: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/better-regulation-framework<\/a> This covers policies that have a regulatory impact on businesses or civil society organisations. The better regulation framework requires departments to produce a regulatory impact assessment if the annual net impacts of a measure are greater than £5 million a year.<\/p> <\/p>
Where a policy does not have a regulatory impact over £5 million a year, departments should still consider undertaking an impact assessment in order to support Parliamentary scrutiny. The Chief Analyst in each department is responsible for providing direction on the production of these impact assessments. Where an impact assessment is not produced, Departments must still develop appropriate analysis to inform policy development and decision-making.<\/p>"}
