HC Deb 14 July 1995 vol 263 c839W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the President of the Board of Trade 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. [34562]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

Such information is not readily available and cannot be provided other than at disproportionate cost. However, the major suppliers from which computer equipment has been purchased over the past three years, excluding purchasing by executive agencies, are:

Contract value £
ICL Enterprises 11.5 million
Digital Equipment Company Ltd. 1.2 million
Unisys Ltd. 750,000
Sequent Computer Systems Ltd. 250,000

A much wider range of companies has been involved in the supply of smaller, individual system requirements.
