To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of the KPMG and EY civil service training contracts they expect to be delivered by subcontractors; and what assessment they have made of the additional cost of using prime contractors rather than commissioning specialist providers directly.
To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of the KPMG and EY civil service training contracts they expect to be delivered by subcontractors; and what assessment they have made of the additional cost of using prime contractors rather than commissioning specialist providers directly.
I refer to the answer given to Question HL2836 on 14 September.
To ask His Majesty's Government how the Civil Service learning and development contracts awarded to KPMG and EY will complement UK Research and Innovation programmes like P2R: increasing UK policymaker engagement with research, which aim to strengthen direct links between policymakers, civil servants and UK research organisations.

The Civil Service values its people, invests in their growth, and is serious about building the capability to meet the challenges of the future. This autumn the National School of Government and Public Services will formally open its doors to civil servants. The learning the school provides will boost public sector productivity and accelerate the pace of progress towards delivering the excellent, digitally-enabled public services to be expected from a modern state.
The learning and development contracts awarded to KPMG and EY enable the National School to procure evaluation and research services from UK universities and research organisations. This complements our wider evaluation, research and data strategy. As part of this, we recently launched our College of Experts, a set of academic and external experts who can bring insight to and advise on all aspects of the National School’s work, and presented on this work at the Universities Policy Engagement Network.
To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of training under the new Civil Service learning and development contracts awarded to KPMG and EY they expect to be delivered by subcontractors; and what assessment they have made of the value for money of using contractors rather than procuring such expertise directly.

This autumn the National School of Government and Public Services will formally open its doors to civil servants. The learning the school provides will boost public sector productivity and accelerate the pace of progress towards delivering the excellent, digitally-enabled public services to be expected from a modern state.
Many of the Civil Service’s training needs can be delivered in-house, by civil servants and the government is committed to reducing outsourced training contracts as we transition to an in-house delivery model through the new National School. In the meantime, we need to provide continuity of current provision of essential training and development for civil servants.
The new contracts include an explicit aspiration to source at least 51% of the total contract value, excluding service charges, through small and medium enterprises, whether directly or indirectly through the supply chain.
There are three core elements upon which the centralised contracts deliver value for money:
Economies of scale: we leverage the Civil Service’s collective buying power to deliver significant savings;
Consistency: we ensure that consistent quality standards are maintained across all training programmes and across the Civil Service; and
Efficiency: applying a "build once, use many times" approach prevents the costly fragmentation that occurs when individual departments procure training separately and manage individual contracts.
Individual or direct procurement of learning prior to the launch of National School would remove the benefits of economies of scale, resulting in duplication and lack of consistency across central government departments. It would also take a significant portion of commercial and business resources to manage individual procurements and contracts thereafter.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the contract awarded to KPMG, 22 May 2026, for Civil Services Learning and Development Services, Ref: C2980 Republished, for what reason external consultancy companies have been used to procure Civil Service Learning.

Many of the Civil Service’s training needs can be delivered in-house, by civil servants and the government is committed to reducing outsourced training contracts. But we also need experts to help with our specialist needs, whether that be digital training, professional qualifications, or executive leadership development, as well as access to academia and business schools. In these cases, we need to buy training.
In the meantime, we need to provide continuity of current provisions of essential training and development for civil servants while the government accelerates the transition to an in-house delivery model through the new National School of Government and Public Services. The contract awarded to KPMG for Civil Service Learning and Development Services is for the provision of training services and not consultancy services. This service is delivered by a specialist learning arm of the business separate to KPMG’s consultancy service.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of commissioning civil service training from universities and specialist providers instead of KPMG and EY; and whether they will publish that assessment.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has referred to the Financial Reporting Council the conduct of KPMG in relation to its reviews of Drax Group plc’s biomass sustainability reporting and the treatment of those findings in the company’s annual reports.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has referred to the Financial Reporting Council the conduct of KPMG in relation to its reviews of Drax Group plc’s biomass sustainability reporting and the treatment of those findings in the company’s annual reports.
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has been in dialogue with other regulators including the Financial Conduct Authority and Ofgem regarding KPMG’s work in relation to Drax’s biomass sustainability reporting. As KPMG’s work for Drax was undertaken as an advisory review rather than as statutory audit work, this does not fall within the FRC’s statutory audit regulatory remit. The FRC continues to monitor this case and will consider any further relevant information.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much South Western Railway has spent on KPMG’s services to develop a business case for the infrastructure investment.
Expenditure on external consultants is a matter for train companies to manage. The Department has agreed challenging budget targets with every train operating company, including South Western Railway, and officials discuss spending against these budgets on a regular basis.
Expenditure on specific contracts cannot be shared as it is commercially sensitive.

Alternatives to a short-term contract extension were considered, and the decision to pursue a short-term extension without an increase to the contract value was taken based on this providing best value for money and other considerations (for example system changes and interoperability) and constraints associated with a short-term bridging opportunity.
