It is my understanding that previously the Office of Government Procurement, OGP, had a public works framework agreement for modern methods of construction suppliers and I heard recently that is no longer the case. Can the Minister of State confirm if that is the case? If so, why is it the case given that a number of Departments are looking to promote modern methods?
