Carillion contracts complete transfer

Spending watchdog tells government to sharpen up its act on procurement

Government must rethink outsourcing after Carillion debacle,say MPs

6 August 2018 | Herpreet Kaur Grewal 


Agreements to transition the last of 278 contracts provided by the Carillion group to new service providers are now in place, signalling the end of the trading phase of the liquidation.

 

The liquidation trading period, which began on 15 January 2018, guaranteed the continued provision of essential public sector services across hospitals, schools, roads, rail and other key infrastructure without any service disruption or major incidents.

 

Dave Chapman, the Official Receiver, said: "Carillion is the largest ever trading liquidation in the UK. The continued uninterrupted delivery of essential public services since the company's collapse in January reflects the significant effort put in by its employees, supported by my team and those employed by the special managers.

 

"During this period 83 per cent of the original workforce have either transferred with the contracts or resigned with another job to go to. Staff have been very professional throughout the liquidation and I want to thank them for their support as we worked to find new suppliers.

 

"The focus of the liquidation will now shift to the provision of limited transitional services for some supplier and finalising Carillion's trading accounts to ensure that payment is made to suppliers who have provided goods and services to the various liquidations. Suppliers are asked to ensure that they supply their final accounts as soon as possible.

 

"My investigation into the cause of the company's failure, including the conduct of its directors, is also underway."
