Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what policy evaluations have been carried out by external organisations for his Department and its agencies in each financial year since 2010-11; whether the output of those evaluations was published; which organisation carried out each such evaluation; and what the value of each contract to provide that evaluation was.
Since 2010-11 the Department has commissioned the following policy evaluations from external organisations.
Title | Published | Organisation | Value |
Meta-evaluation of the impacts and legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games | Yes | Grant Thornton | £1,400,000 |

The Department does not hold information on evaluations commissioned by its arm’s length bodies centrally.
