HC Deb 14 July 1995 vol 263 c826W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the top 10 suppliers of computer equipment to his Department and its agencies in the last five years, indicating the total value of the contracts received. [34554]

Mr. Bowis

For the period from April 1991, the earliest date for which figures are available, to April 1995, the main suppliers of computer equipment to the Department and its agencies were:

£
Siemens Nixdorf 13,771,522
P and P Corporate Systems Ltd. 13,589,832
Bull Information Systems 304,193

These amounts include not only computer equipment but computer software and some implementation costs. It is not possible to separate out these amounts except at disproportionate cost. There were a number of smaller contracts with other companies, none of which exceeded £100,000 in the period.
