<p>The answering of this PQ has been split into two sections; the first will focus
on the number and value of contracts agreed since 2010 and the second will address
the question on monitoring and officials working on those contracts.</p><p>(A) The
number of contracts awarded by the Commercial and Contract Management Directorate
within the Ministry of Justice on behalf of its <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations#ministry-of-justice"
target="_blank">34 agencies and public bodies</a> since 2010 is provided in the below
table.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="2"><p>Value Banding</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>£1million
- £3million</p></td><td><p>More than £3million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>21</p></td><td><p>85</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>57</p></td><td><p>110</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>52</p></td><td><p>89</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>42</p></td><td><p>67</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>58</p></td><td><p>72</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>47</p></td><td><p>61</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>47</p></td><td><p>51</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>72</p></td><td><p>71</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>40</p></td><td><p>83</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>48</p></td><td><p>77</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>67</p></td><td><p>111</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>151</p></td><td><p>117</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022*</p></td><td><p>46</p></td><td><p>57</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>*Information
for 2022 is to the 01 July 2022</p><p>The Commercial and Contract Management Directorate
within the Ministry of Justice expects to award 188 contracts between July 2022 and
July 2023 on behalf of its <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations#ministry-of-justice"
target="_blank">34 agencies and public bodies</a>.</p><p>(B) The Ministry of Justice
can only answer the monitoring and officials working part of the PQ at a disproportionate
cost. There are 1799 contracts that fall into scope of the request. To answer this
would require us to identify and contact the owner of each contract manager individually,
in order to gather the required information. Furthermore, information for some of
the contracts that date back over 12 years is not held centrally.</p><p>To obtain
the information for each of the 1799 contracts would require an estimated 30 minutes
per contract.</p>
