JAGGAER and Oxygen Finance: Expenditure

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 21 January 2026UIN 105551

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the National Audit Office report, Lessons learned: the government’s use of external consultants, HC: 1381, 21 November 2025, Figure 10, what specific data is collected on Government spending by (a) Oxygen Finance and (b) Jaggaer Spend.

Answered by Chris Ward

Since 2010, Central Government departments publish expenditure above £25,000 on a monthly basis. Oxygen Finance aggregates this transparency data to provide reports on spending by a particular department or category.

Jaggaer Spend relies on data generated by payments processed through public sector procurement systems, as opposed to published invoice data.
