Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 9 February 2018 to Question 125736, what was the value was of each of those subcontracted contract; how performance was measured under each of those subcontracts; and by what mechanism his Department had oversight of each of those subcontracts.

The financial values of the subcontracts detailed in Question 125736 cannot be provided as they are commercially sensitive.

The performance of Amey is measured by the Department through a suite of key performance indicators and other management information. The Department can therefore deduce subcontractor performance from this information, however the Department would always escalate any performance deficiency with Amey in the first instance.

Amey is required to obtain written consent from the Department prior to entering into any subcontract for the delivery of services under this contract.
