prior to April 2010.</p><p>The lowest value for contracts shown here is £10,000. Any
purchasing below that level is made under standard purchase order terms and conditions
rather than through a specific contract. These are not recorded on our central system.</p><p>The

and could only be included at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
