Written question asked by Philip Davies (Conservative) on Monday, 18 June 2018, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 20 June 2018. It was answered by Rory Stewart (Conservative) on Monday, 25 June 2018 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Ministry of Justice: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 8 June 2018 to Question 147414 on procurement, how long each of those contractors has been employed by his Department at that daily rate.
- Answer
-
The response to Question 147414 said that there were three contractors employed by the department and paid £1,000 or more per day. Two of those no longer work for the department with their contracts having ended in February and April 2018.
The one current contractor has completed 10 months in the department and the contract terminates in September 2018.
The Ministry of Justice brings in contractors for a variety of reasons. These include general skills for short term work on projects that do not require a long term permanent role, or where highly specialist skills are required only on a temporary basis. We seek to use contractors where to do so is more efficient and cost-effective, saving money for the taxpayer.
