§ Baroness Blatchasked Her Majesty's Government:
What predictions were made, and by whom, of the number of criminal record checks in the contract with Capita; and over what periods. [HL215]
§ The Minister of State, Home Office (Lord Falconer of Thoroton)The agency made forecast volumes of the expected number of criminal record checks available to all bidders during the tendering process. However, no volume forecasts are contained within the contract. These forecasts were based on work which had been undertaken by consultants for the Home Office prior to the establishment of the Criminal Records Bureau and the contract with Capita.
