Government Departments: ICT
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if she will publish an annual assessment of all government IT contracts, detailing what proportion is delivered offshore compared to the UK.
Answered by Ian Murray
Departments are responsible for managing their own commercial arrangements in line with procurement regulations and value-for-money principles.
Information on government contracts, including suppliers and contract details, is publicly available through the Find a Tender Service for above-threshold procurements and Contracts Finder for below-threshold procurements in England and other non-devolved territories. For procurements that began before 24 February 2025, only above-threshold notices are published on Find a Tender.
