Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the total value of contracts his Department has with private sector providers was in each of the last five years for which records are available.

Since January 2011, central Government Departments have been required to publish on Contracts Finder information on the tenders issued and contracts they award with a value over £10,000

In addition, Departments including HM Treasury routinely publish details of transactions over £25,000.
