To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office if he will make a statement on modernising public procurement

Urgent matter raised by an MP

Labour MP Leigh Ingham is requesting a statement from the Cabinet Office Minister on modernising public procurement processes. This urgent question seeks to understand the government's plans to reform how public sector organisations buy goods and services, likely focusing on efficiency, transparency, and use of digital tools.

Public procurement accounts for tens of billions of pounds annually across NHS, local councils, defence, and other public services. Modernising these processes affects how efficiently taxpayer money is spent, can support small and medium-sized businesses in competing for contracts, and impacts economic competitiveness. This is significant to businesses seeking public contracts and to public service users who benefit from efficient spending.
