Written question asked by Jon Trickett (Labour) on Tuesday, 27 June 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 29 June 2017. It was answered by Jeremy Wright (Conservative) on Thursday, 6 July 2017 on behalf of the Attorney General.


Attorney General: Procurement

Question

To ask the Attorney General, how many contracts put out to tender by the Law Officers' Departments were awarded to (a) charities and (b) social enterprises in each year since 2010.

Answer

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not keep central records of the status of suppliers and is therefore unable to verify if any contracts have been awarded to (a) charities and (b) social enterprises in each year since 2010. To identify any such expenditure would involve checking large numbers of paper records and would incur disproportionate cost (Code of Practice on Access to Government Information, part 2, clause 9).

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO), HMCPSI and the Government Legal Department (GLD) have not awarded any contracts to charities or social enterprises since 2010.
