Recommendation 10
10
Paragraph: 39
Mandate Government Buying Standards for all large public sector bodies and annual compliance reporting.
Recommendation
We recommend that each Government Buying Standard be made mandatory for all large public sector bodies, including the NHS, the Armed Forces and HM Prison Service, as it currently is for UK Government departments and their partner organisations. Annual reporting on compliance against public procurement policies should also be mandatory for these large public bodies: the annual reporting should in each case indicate the proportion of overall goods procured which have been sourced from UK producers.
