Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what proportion of consultancy assignments procured by his Department are paid at a daily rate.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) does not hold this information centrally although we believe the majority of our consultancy assignments to be paid at a daily rate. BEIS consultancy service requirements are sourced normally via the Crown Commercial Service ConsultancyOne framework which provides for charging based upon discounted supplier day rates.
