<p /> <p>The Ministry of Justice currently has 34 Live Contracts to provide the Provision
of Consultancy. As the Contracts are awarded to Companies on a project basis, the
Ministry of Justice cannot establish the exact number working at a specific point
in time. The number and seniority of consultants will vary depending on the stage
in the project.</p><p> </p><p>To establish the exact number of consultants we would
need to interrogate both the files and Companies to obtain the information required
and then review and collate that information. By doing so we would incur disproportionate
costs in answering this question.</p><p> </p><p>Temporary staff and consultants are
only used to fill business critical posts and provide essential services where they
can provide a fast, flexible and efficient way to obtain necessary skills that are
not currently available in-house.</p>
