International Development written question – answered at on 14 January 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what changes other than a threshold for ministerial sign-off for contracts with suppliers, will be implemented as a result of the findings of her Department's report on the use of private consultants.
A number of steps have already been taken as part of the first wholesale review of the department's approach to suppliers in the last decade. This includes changes to the threshold for ministerial sign-off for contracts. In November I met with DFID's largest suppliers to start a process of working with them individually and collectively to get better value for money.
