<p>The Fires, Infrastructure, and Manoeuvre Support (FIMS) delivery team total spend
on equipment and support by financial year is as follows:</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial
Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Contract Spend</strong> <strong> £million</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>24.82</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020-21</p></td><td><p>56.66</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021-22</p></td><td><p>64.11</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022-23</p></td><td><p>390.42</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>The FIMS delivery team total spend on operating costs by financial year is
as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total
spend £million</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>8.10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020-21</p></td><td><p>2.20</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021-22</p></td><td><p>8.26</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022-23</p></td><td><p>17.86</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>FIMS is a specific project team in DE&S and the figures above represent
the total spend of that team. The figures do not represent the total spend on all
fires, infrastructure and support across the Department which would not be held centrally
and would not be answerable without a disproportionate cost. The substantial increase
in costs in FY2022-23 is due to the Operational Infrastructure team being merged into
the FIMS team in April 2022.</p><p> </p>
