HC Deb 21 April 1993 vol 223 c110W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidance will be given to Home Office businesses which will be involved in in-house bids during the market testing period from September 1993 to March 1995.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

A variety of guidance notes are available, together with access to professional specialisms within the Home Office to enable in-house teams to construct their bids. In addition, limited funds are available to enable Home Office businesses to seek targeted external consultancy assistance where internal resources are unavailable.
