Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 2 March 2017 to Question 64998, if he will estimate the proportion of contracts awarded to external providers that are defined as major departmental contracts.
This question was answered on 21st March 2017
The FCO awarded 20 major contracts over the last 3 year period. Major contracts are defined as those with a whole life cost over £15m. The FCO does not centrally hold data about all contracts and to provide this information would incur disproportionate cost.
