<p>The estimated spend of the Crown Prosecution Service on managing procurement for
each year since 2010 is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>2016-17</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(£000s)</p></td><td><p>637</p></td><td><p>531</p></td><td><p>521</p></td><td><p>847</p></td><td><p>858</p></td><td><p>894</p></td><td><p>852</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The
figures are based upon average staff costs and the costs of external procurement services.
From August 2013, the figures include an element equivalent to two full time posts
which is part of a shared purchasing service to the GLD, AGO and HMCPSI and described
below.</p><p>The spend by the Government Legal Department (GLD), Attorney General’s
Office (AGO) and HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>2016-17</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(£000s</p></td><td><p>125</p></td><td><p>125</p></td><td><p>88</p></td><td><p>144</p></td><td><p>159</p></td><td><p>132</p></td><td><p>135</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>As
noted above, the CPS Procurement Team provides procurement support and advice under
a shared service arrangement. Prior to August 2012, this function was provided by
a GLD Procurement Team.</p><p>Individual Serious Fraud Office (SFO) teams are responsible
for the day-to-day contract management of expert services and lower value contracts
that fall within their business areas. Senior members of case teams are also responsible
for the management of counsel and other experts engaged on SFO cases. The SFO does
not hold central records on the contract management time spent by each and every staff
member involved and such information could only be provided at a disproportionate
cost.</p>
