International Development written question – answered at on 7 January 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development
(1) how many procurement officers are currently employed by her Department;
(2) how many civil servants in her Department regularly deal with procurement services.
The Department for International Development's central Procurement Group, (which manages the award of all large contracts over the £113,000 threshold in public procurement regulations), currently employs 34 procurement officers. The central Procurement Group works with a significant number of staff across DFID on procurement-related activities, however, to provide precise details of this would incur disproportionate cost.
