The best way to test for and to demonstrate this principle is via an open competition, as is required in most cases by public procurement legislation.</p><p>It is open to organisations to consider and bid for contract opportunities where appropriate. This Government is committed to ensuring procurement opportunities are accessible to a range of organisations, and in supporting start-ups, small businesses and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises to participate in government procurement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 14/11/2022 15:32:37 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
