<p>Details of Government contracts from 2016 above £10,000, and £25,000 in the wider
public sector, are published on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder" target="_blank">Contracts
Finder</a>. As Contracts Finder was implemented in 2016, not all records before this
time are held centrally.</p><p> </p><p>In relation to funding, under the Governments
Transparency agenda, all spend data over £25,000 is published and can be found at
<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/dwp-payments-over-25-000#2022"
target="_blank">DWP: departmental spending over £25,000 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>For the Department, there are 166 contracts with a value between £1 million
and £3 million, and 69 contracts with a value over £3 million, due to be agreed in
the next 12 months.</p><p> </p><p>The numbers represent the anticipated forecast number
of contracts that may be agreed within the next 12 months to 31/07/2023. These figures
are unsupported by any necessary dependent approval governance and/or change in demand
signal.</p><p> </p><p>For the Department’s agencies and non-departmental public bodies,
there are 11 contracts with a value between £1 million and £3 million, and 4 contracts
with a value over £3 million, due to be agreed in the next 12 months.</p><p> </p><p>Due
to a number of organisational and staff changes since 2010, information on Departmental
spend on monitoring each contract and the number of officials working on them, is
not readily available and would require a very high degree of manual processing. To
provide this information would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
