In answer to the second part of the Question, contracts are monitored in various ways to ensure delivery of the service and value for money. It is for each department to manage its contracts and the amount of time and intervention required depends on the complexity, risk and cost of the work to be undertaken, allied to the specific details contained in the contractual arrangements. A number of staff will typically be involved, such as business owners, technical specialists and contract/commercial managers. Buying Solutions has put in place a number of framework agreements for use by government departments and the wider public sector, and provides information to departments on their use. These agreements have standard terms and the relevant business area will monitor delivery of the requirement with support of contract managers as required. Reports on all contract activities are not issued as a matter of course to Buying Solutions.
