uin	128220
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2018 answer text <p>UK public procurement policy is to award contracts on the basis of value for money, which means the optimum combination of cost and quality over the lifetime of the project. It is for individual contracting authorities to ensure that they do not accept bids that are not viable.</p><p>The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 sets out the way in which Contracting Authorities shall require bidders to explain the price or costs proposed in a tender, where it appears to be abnormally low in relation to the requirement. Where the Contracting Authority considers the explanation and evidence to be unsatisfactory, it can reject the tender.</p><p>In addition, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 allow contracting authorities to impose requirements ensuring that economic operators possess the necessary economic and financial capacity to perform the contract, and a supplier’s past performance is taken into account.</p><p>Where appropriate, Open Book Contract Management techniques can be used to closely monitor contract delivery, and to understand bidders' cost models and margins.</p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 27/02/2018 16:46:35 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
