WQ.392/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES
BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 4th NOVEMBER 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 11th NOVEMBER 2024
Question
"Will the Minister advise what steps, if any, are taken to encourage procurement by the Government of goods and services from on-Island companies, particularly in relation to any weighting given to a company's presence in Jersey during decisions on whether to award a tender?"
Answer
The approach undertaken in respect of procurement aligns with procurement best practice in which a range of factors are considered embodying the principle of Most Economically Advantageous Tender. A range of criteria are considered. These include but are not limited to: - price, quality of submission in respect of adherence to the specification, acceptance of terms and conditions and social value are weighted and scored accordingly. There is not a specific weighting for a company's presence in Jersey.
A recent analysis of our top 100 suppliers by spend has shown that more than 50% of this spend is with local suppliers. This analysis will be published before the end of this year. The department is actively reviewing procurement process from the perspective of small local business.
