<p>The Department for Transport’s (DfT) Arm’s Length Bodies have a duty to manage
public money responsibly and effectively and in a transparent way. This includes managing
any potential conflicts of interest effectively through the implementation of an effective
and appropriate Conflicts of Interest (CoI) policy, in line with the Cabinet Office’s
Procurement Policy Note: Applying Exclusions in Public Procurement, Managing Conflicts
of Interest and Whistleblowing (PPN 04/21).</p><p> </p><p>As the Great British Railways
Transition Team (GBRTT) employs people from across the rail industry, DfT’s Rail Reform
team has been working closely with them to maintain and improve current information
sharing processes, including ensuring NDAs have adequate provisions to protect all
parties where potential conflicts of interest exist. This includes ensuring GBRTT
