Since profit warnings about Carillion were first issued in July 2017, the Government has been closely monitoring the situation and in constructive discussion with Carillion while it sought to refinance its business.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has always worked to reduce risk and, of the small number of the contracts awarded since the July 2017 profit warning, virtually all were joint ventures with other companies, where the other companies are contractually bound take on Carillion's share of the work.<\/p>
<\/p>
Suppliers have to meet certain criteria to be able to bid for public contracts, including a minimum level of financial and economic standing proven through turnover, audited accounts or other financial measures. At the time of bidding and the award of the Private Financial Initiative (PFI) contracts for the major hospital build projects for Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust and Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust in 2013 and 2015 respectively, Carillion passed all mandated financial and economic standing tests. The trusts concerned, working with the Department, had an obligation to treat Carillion fairly based on public procurement regulations and award them contracts.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Official Receiver is investigating the events leading to the company\u2019s insolvency and the Government need to let that happen and await its conclusions.

The Department reviews the financial standing of suppliers before awarding contracts; as part of the qualification process for places on our supply frameworks; and as part of ongoing contract management arrangements, in line with Cabinet Office guidance. The Cabinet Office manages relationships with Strategic Suppliers, monitoring their performance and financial health on a cross-Government basis, through its Strategic Supplier Risk Management Policy.<\/p>
The Department has been working closely with the Cabinet Office to monitor the situation with Carillion since profit warnings were first issued last July. Our priority has been to ensure schools can continue to operate as usual.<\/p>
Local authorities and academy trusts are responsible for their own contracts.
