Responsibility for public procurement policy rests with the Crown Commercial Service, an executive agency of the Cabinet Office.

Responsibility for the Local Government Pension Scheme rests with the Department of Communities and Local Government. Guidance will be issued to local authorities and other public bodies reminding them that their procurement and investment decisions should provide value for money and be consistent with UK Government policy.
