<p>The Government Legal Department (GLD), Attorney General’s Office (AGO) and HM Crown
Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) do not specifically record information centrally
on those contracts that have been cancelled and retendered, but the procurement team
are not aware of any contracts that have been cancelled and re-tendered since 2010.</p><p>
</p><p>According to Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) records held centrally, there
have been no contracts that have been cancelled and re-tendered since 2010. The CPS
is a devolved organisation, however, and it is possible that contracts have been awarded
locally and subsequently cancelled. To collate any such contracts would involve checking
large numbers of records across a number of CPS offices and would incur disproportionate
cost (Code of Practice on Access to Government Information, part 2, clause 9).</p><p>
</p><p>The information requested is not collated centrally at the Serious Fraud Office
(SFO) and could only be obtained through a manual search of records, which would incur
a disproportionate cost.</p>
