Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many contracts that are worth (a) between £1 million and £3 million and (b) over £3 million their (i) Department and (ii) Department’s agencies and non-departmental public bodies (A) have agreed since 2010 and (B) are due to agree within the next 12 months; how much their Department has spent on monitoring each contract in each year since 2010; and how many officials have been working on that monitoring in each year since 2010.

a) Details of Government contracts from 2016 above £10,000, and £25,000 in the wider public sector, are published on Contracts Finder. As Contracts Finder was implemented in 2016, not all records before this time are held centrally

b) The information requested is not held centrally. However, the department publishes twice yearly information on the pipeline for contracts above £2 million here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dluhc-procurement-pipeline. Homes England publish their commercial pipeline here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/homes-england-commercial-pipeline.
