</p><p>DWP has in excess of 470 contracts with suppliers covering multiple services,
for example Estates, IT, Business Support, Health and Employment Services. Details

cannot comment on how many people working for third party contractors are paid less
than the Living Wage as defined by the Living Wage Foundation as there is no statutory
or contractual requirement for contractors to pay staff the Living Wage. It is not
data DWP collect during the course of Contract Management and not all staff working
for those contractors deliver services for DWP.</p>
