Contracted out is defined as \u2018the transfer of the provision of services previously performed by in-house personnel to an external organisation under a contract with agreed costs and conditions\u2019.<\/em><\/p>

The Government Legal Department (GLD ) and Attorney General\u2019s Office (AGO)primarily provide legal services to government and while they use external suppliers, including law firms and barristers, to support this legal work, none would fall under the definition of contracted out and therefore no pro bono work has been received as part of such arrangements.<\/p>

The (AGO), GLD and HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) use third party suppliers to provide human resources, finance, information technology, facilities management and other accommodation services. Some elements of these services may have previously been provided in-house but there has been no significant contracting out of these services since 2010. There are no plans for significant contracting out in 2016-17.<\/p>

SFO<\/strong><\/p>

The SFO\u2019s procurement team oversees contract awards at the SFO and has records of 944 contracts awarded since 2010. Some low value contracts which are handled by individual teams may not be captured in these records. To provide a breakdown of the number awarded and cost per year would require data to be gathered manually and therefore incur a disproportionate cost.<\/p>

Since 1 April 2015, details of SFO contracts over £10,000 have been published on https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder<\/a> .<\/p>

The SFO does not undertake or commission pro bono work.<\/p>

SFO contracts are not awarded or recorded on a working day basis, and it would incur disproportionate cost to review each contract in order to provide an estimate.<\/p>

Crown Prosecution Service:<\/p>

Since 2012 the Crown Prosecution Service has shared a purchasing service with the Government Legal Department. The department does not hold complete records of the information and to assemble the material would incur disproportionate cost. Estimates of the number and value of contracts completed by the Commercial team have been made as follows:<\/p>

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) externally sources a number of services including cleaning, security, catering, IT and facilities management. Many of these services were externally sourced before 2010. The two major examples of outsourcing contracts since 2010, where we have contracted for services previously managed internally, are:<\/p>
