answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2018 answer text <p>The department does not ordinarily collect information on procurement activity because local authorities and academy trusts are responsible for their own contracts.</p><p> </p><p>Information available to the department indicates that the number of local authority and academy trust schools covered by service contracts with Carillion is relatively low, and significantly lower than figures initially published on Carillion’s website. Schools affected already have robust contingency plans in operation and, for many, this may include transferring services in house, or re-procuring with alternative providers.
