OGC Supplier Feedback Service

- Provide reasoned feedback to enquirers on their concerns
- Help OGC identify areas of poor procurement practice so it can work with the contracting authority to put them right, and help ensure similar cases do not arise in future
- Take action to reduce the likelihood of similar issues arising in other authorities.
For more information on our scope and remit, and how we may be able to assist, please see OGC Supplier Feedback Service webpages.
