answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/10/2020 answer text <p>Further to my <a href="https://bit.ly/30s4dmg" target="_blank">answer on 01 October 2020</a>, competitive tenders are used across government, including by the Cabinet Office. It is also the case that there are certain circumstances where regulations permit that contracts can be awarded without a competition, including where there is extreme urgency.</p><p>As has been the case under successive administrations, this Government works with a number of suppliers to provide polling and focus group work. Public First was engaged by the Cabinet Office to test public opinion and reaction to government messaging, including focus groups for COVID-19 research. Details of this contract have been published on GOV.UK in the usual way.</p><p>No ministerial sign off was sought for the award of a contract to Public First. Details of Ministerial meetings are published quarterly on GOV.UK.</p><p>A claim for Judicial Review was issued by the High Court on 10 July 2020 in relation to the award of this contract. It would not, therefore, be appropriate to make further comment whilst this is subject to ongoing legal proceedings.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez grouped question UIN 76729 76730 76731 76732 77726 77727 question first answered 06/10/2020 09:19:18 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
