Departmental Consultants
- Question
- To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what procedures his Department uses when engaging external consultants.
- Answer
-
HM Treasury operates a business case approval process for the procurement of consultancy services. In addition to the departmental approval process, Cabinet Office approval is sought where:"contracts are expected to last longer than nine months;""pre-existing contracts when extended take the total life of the contract to beyond nine months; and""spend is over £20,000 on procurement-related consultancy."The process for engaging advisers follows the departmental procurement process and is dependent on the level of spend and the availability and suitability of pan-Government framework agreements.
