To ask His Majesty's Government what is the current value of Government departments' directly procured construction contracts where project bank accounts are being used, as recommended in the Construction Playbook.
Answered on

The Construction Playbook reiterates the government's approach to procuring construction projects to maximise value for money and deliver high quality outcomes. The Playbook is clear that contracting authorities should use project bank accounts unless there are compelling reasons not to. The Cabinet Office does not collect information centrally on the value of contracts that use project bank accounts.
