HC Deb 10 February 1986 vol 91 c368W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will place in the Library for each tendering exercise, material showing the price of the winning tender, together with costs credited and debited to the in-house and commercial tenders for monitoring, overheads, capital and so on, and the below the line redundancy and early retirement costs.

Mr. Whitney

This information is not collected centrally.

Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for Social services whether it is Her Majesty's Government's policy that all affected National Health Service staff should be informed of the price of the winning tender following a tendering exercise, together with cost credited and debited to the in-house and commercial tenders for monitoring overheads, capital and so on, and the below the line redundancy and early retirement costs.

Mr. Whitney

Health authorities are expected to keep staff interests informed on competitive tendering issues as circular HC(83)18 makes clear.
