Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what changes her Department has made to its contract with Sprakab in 2014-15 to date; and what the reasons were for those changes.

There have been no changes made to the current contract with Sprakab, which was awarded in August, following an open procurement competition. As part of this process, a contract was also awarded to a new firm, Verified, as the lead
supplier, which was on the basis of securing the best value contracts for the taxpayer.
