Northern Ireland written question – answered at on 7 March 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the cost to the public purse was of the (a) procurement and (b) outsourcing function of (i) his Department and (ii) each non-departmental public body for which he is responsible in the last financial year for which figures are available.
Comparable figures for the Department as it is now configured are not available following the completion of devolution of policing and justice functions on
However, for the period January 2010 to January 2011, the Department incurred costs of £32,746 on its procurement function. In addition a member of staff spends a proportion of her time managing the relationship with our procurement function. During this time, that function established contracts for the Department to the value of £1,124,000. The Department has one executive non-departmental body (NDPB), which does not have a separate procurement function. Neither the Department nor its NDPB have an outsourcing function.
