answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2017 answer text <p>The number of contracts within the Department below the OJEU threshold is not held centrally, they are tracked and managed by individual country offices. The requested proportion cannot, therefore, be provided without incurring disproportionate cost.</p><p>For live contracts above the EU threshold, each contract has a Senior Responsible Owner. There are currently 640 Senior Responsible Owners for live programmes in DFID. The number of staff managed by the Senior Responsible Owner in relation to monitoring contracts varies. On average there will be at least eight staff members directly involved in the oversight of each contract. The amount of time each staff member will spend varies depending on the type of contract and how it is performing.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 08/03/2017 16:44:17 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
