answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The Ministry of Justice is mandated to encourage Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) engagement and the policy is set out by the Cabinet Office; this is a government wide agenda. SME participation is encouraged by removing barriers and making the procurement process faster and less complex. Most recently the government issued policy supporting a number of new reforms to make public procurement even more accessible to businesses, particularly SMEs. These new reforms take account of the wide consultation and engagement that the Government has undertaken with public bodies, small businesses and trade bodies over the last two years and in response to Lord Young’s recommendations to Government in his report ‘Growing Your Business’ (May 2013). These reforms are implemented in Part 4 of the new Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and have been embedded into MoJ procurement processes.</p><p>Secondly the Social Values Act must be taken into consideration. Thought must be given to the economic, social and environmental well being of the relevant areas and applied as appropriate to the procurement process.</p><p>The full policies can be found at the following links:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-04-12-procurement-supporting-growth-supporting-material-for-departments" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-04-12-procurement-supporting-growth-supporting-material-for-departments</a></p><p><a title="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0315-reforms-to-make-public-procurement-more-accessible-to-smes" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0315-reforms-to-make-public-procurement-more-accessible-to-smes" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0315-reforms-to-make-public-procurement-more-accessible-to-smes</a></p><p><a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/3/enacted" target="_blank">http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/3/enacted</a></p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/61169/The_20Compact.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/61169/The_20Compact.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>The MoJ has exceeded the Government’s stated aspiration that 25 per cent of government procurement expenditure goes to SMEs. The MoJ is one of the top performing departments, with over £1.7bn (37 per cent) of procurement expenditure going to SMEs in 2013/14.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 25/03/2015 17:56:45 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2015 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is focused on ensuring best value for money in its procurement activity and, wherever possible, we seek to fulfil our requirements through open competition. For those instances where we must procure from a single source, the new Defence Reform Act 2014 and the Single Service Contract Regulations 2014 will help the MOD secure improved value for money through legally enforceable pricing and transparency rules. We have also established a Single Source Regulations Office, which will ensure that good value for money is obtained in Government expenditure on qualifying defence contracts and that contractors are paid a fair and reasonable price. The MOD does not hold information on savings realised through value for money procedures, but evaluates products and processes systematically to provide confidence about suitability, effectiveness, prudence, quality and good value. In a drive to continually reduce costs and deliver value for money the MOD has secured five year savings of £1.006 billion.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 11/03/2015 17:56:05 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
