<p>Since August 2012 the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has benefitted
from having central records of contracts let by the Department. However, the operational
management of each contract continues to rest with the respective project SRO (Senior
Responsible Owner) or team, and there may often be valid reasons for any subsequent
contract changes. The Department is reviewing its Commercial Strategy and expects
to increase management information in this area soon but presently lacks the capacity
to marry contracts let with actual payments made, and to do so would involve disproportionate
cost.</p>
