The Home Office follows the Cabinet Office and Crown Commercial Service procurement policy that assists in enabling open book contract management to be used in a fair way depending on the risk level and complexity of the contract. This ensures it is used on those contracts where the additional cost is justified by the level of benefits and risk. Standard clauses are published as part of the government\u2019s Model Services Contract. Details may be found on the following links:<\/p>
