Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many cloud services contracts that were previously delivered by British cloud services providers for the Department for International Development are now delivered by multinational cloud service providers; what is the value of those contracts; and what are the names of the previous providers.
Answered by Lord Bates
DFID does not hold this information centrally for all internal departments and overseas offices and could only be collated at disproportionate cost. We can however provide information on cloud services contracts which are managed by our IT department. Of the cloud services contracts managed by our IT Department, there are zero which were delivered by British cloud services providers which are now delivered by multinational cloud service providers.
