HC Deb 20 June 1977 vol 933 c349W
Mr. Michael Spicer

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will give an assurance that the selection of bidders and evaluation of tenders for Government software and computer consultancy contracts will be entirely on merit and irrespective of whether a potential supplier of software services is a member of INSAC.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

The basis on which tenders for Government software and computer consultancy contracts are invited and evaluated remains unchanged; and is not affected by the formation of INSAC.
