HC Deb 10 November 2003 vol 413 cc102-4W
Mr. Oaten

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much the Prison Service spent on purchasing and upgrading IT equipment(a) in 2003 and (b) in 2002; and what this cost per prison employee. [135897]

Paul Goggins

The Prison Service entered into a contract with EDS in 2000 for the provision of a fully managed information technology and telephony service. Payment is based on the number of personal computers supported under the contract. The cost of the IT element only of the contract, together with the cost of non-IT activities, amounted to £32,094,111 in 2001–02 and £47,471,074 in 2002–2003. This is equivalent to £728 per average full time equivalent employee in 2001–2002 and £1,045 in 2002–2003.
