	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2019 answer text <p>The overarching principle in all public sector procurement is to secure the best value for money for the taxpayer. To this end, we have simplified procurement processes, and we are implementing a range of measures, such as taking account of social value when awarding contracts. From September, if government contractors are late with supplier payments, they could be prevented from winning public contracts. These measures help to deliver value for money for taxpayers through better procurement, and support a healthy, competitive and diverse market.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hertsmere answering member printed Oliver Dowden question first answered 30/04/2019 15:38:23 answering member 4441 label Biography information for Oliver Dowden
