Mr. Burt

Details of the nature and value of contracts awarded to external suppliers following a competitive tender of work previously performed in-house by civil servants are in the table. No additional work has been awarded on these contracts to the companies in question. In-house teams who have retained work following a market test obtain a range of services through contracts with external suppliers. Information on those contracts is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
