Part 3: Award of public contracts and procedures Debarment Section 62: Debarment list
This section as per subsections (1) to (3) provides a power for a Minister of the Crown to add a supplier to the debarment list where the Minister has conducted an investigation or considered an investigation by another appropriate authority (i.e. the Welsh Ministers or a Northern Ireland department) and has concluded that a relevant exclusion ground applies to the supplier and that the supplier has failed to demonstrate that the circumstances giving rise to the ground are not likely to recur or are continuing.  This also applies where the Minister has determined the supplier is subject to mandatory exclusion for failing to provide information or assistance in an investigation (see Schedule 6, paragraph 42).
	Subsections (3) and (4) set out what the report for entry of a supplier on the debarment list must contain. This includes the relevant exclusion ground that applies, whether this is mandatory or discretionary, where the mandatory exclusion ground for national security threats for particular types of contracts applies (see paragraph 35 of Schedule 6) a description of the types of contracts, and the date the exclusion ground is expected to cease to apply.
	Subsection (5) provides that the Minister must give advance notice to a supplier before adding it to the debarment list.
	Subsection (6) provides for a standstill period of eight working days after giving notice to the supplier before the supplier may be added to the debarment list. This is intended to give suppliers the opportunity to apply to the court for a temporary suspension of the debarment decision pending any appeal made under section 65 (debarment decisions: appeals). Further provision on applications for suspension during the standstill period is made at section 63 (Debarment decisions: interim relief).
	Subsection (7) provides that the Minister may not add the supplier to the debarment list while proceedings brought under section 63 (debarment decisions: interim relief) are ongoing and have not concluded.
	Subsection (8) requires the Minister to keep the debarment list under review and allows the Minister to revise the date on which the Minister expects the entry to be removed from the list or the description of the types of contracts where the mandatory exclusion ground for national security threats for particular types of contracts applies (see paragraph 35 of Schedule 6), or remove a supplier from the debarment list.
	Subsection (9) provides that if the Minister voluntarily removes a supplier from the debarment list while the supplier is bringing an appeal under section 65 (debarment decisions: appeals), the Minister may reinstate the entry only after the proceedings have concluded.
	Subsection (10) requires the Minister to remove a supplier from the debarment list if the Minister is satisfied that the supplier is not an excluded or excludable supplier by virtue of the ground stated in the entry and to revise an entry on the basis of the mandatory exclusion ground for national security threats for particular types of contracts (see paragraph 35 of Schedule 6) if the Minister is satisfied that the ground no longer applies to those types of contracts.
	Subsection (11) provides that the debarment list must be published.
	Subsection (12) requires the Minister to consult with the Welsh Ministers and most appropriate Northern Ireland department prior to entering or removing a supplier's name from the debarment list or revising an entry.
	Subsection (13) refers to the definition of "relevant exclusion ground".
