Reporting guidance consultation - March 2021
The SSRO is consulting on proposed changes to its reporting guidance.
The SSRO’s guidance helps defence contractors to prepare and submit reports required under the Defence Reform Act 2014 and the Single Source Contract Regulations 2014. Contractors must have regard to the SSRO’s guidance when preparing contract and supplier reports under the Act and the Regulations.
The SSRO is consulting on changes to parts of its current guidance. In the preparation of these changes we have attempted to make the reporting process clearer and more efficient. The topics we are consulting on are:
- Rounding in validations
- Linking compliance issues to owners
- Reporting sunk and committed elements in a contract
- Reporting on-demand report due dates
- Amended sub-contracts
- DPS principles
This consultation is open to all interested persons. We particularly welcome comments from individuals or organisations with an interest in single source defence procurement and ensuring that good value for money is obtained in government expenditure on qualifying contracts and that the prices paid under these contracts are fair and reasonable.
The consultation runs until 14 May 2021. Written responses should be sent by email to:
By email consultations@ssro.gov.uk (preferred); or
By post to
SSRO
Finlaison House, 15-17 Furnival Street
London, EC4A 1AB
The SSRO welcomes the opportunity to meet with stakeholders to discuss the proposals during the consultation period. If you wish to arrange such a meeting, please contact us at the earliest opportunity via simon.mccullough@ssro.gov.uk.
