Part 9: Remedies for breach of statutory duty Section 107: Part 9 proceedings and closed material procedure
This section allows proceedings under Part 9 of the Procurement Act 2023 to take place under the closed material procedure as provided by Part 2 of the Justice and Security Act 2013.  The closed material procedure protects sensitive information (which would be damaging to the interests of national security), and the section specifies that references to the Secretary of State in that Act include the Minister for the Cabinet Office. This allows the Minister for the Cabinet Office to apply for that procedure to be used for any proceedings under Part 9.
