Government is using contracts to deliver complex public services as well as traditional back-office services

Notes

 

3  The figures shown are for 2014-15 outturn except for 'HMT & HMRC' where the 2015-16 budget figure is used because the HMT PESA outturn figure is negative, due to the financial sector interventions.

4  As the Cabinet Office's spend analysis tool does not cover the NHS, the figure shown for purchase of goods and services by "NHS & DH" has been estimated by adding the 2014-15 WGA figure for the NHS to the Department of Health figures from the spend analysis tool.

5  The DCLG PESA figure includes the administration of DCLG and funding for delivering departmental responsibilities such as housing, planning and regeneration policy.

6  The expenditure data from the Cabinet Office's spend analysis tool is provisional and has not been validated with departments. We published similar analysis for 2012-13 in our 2013 report managing government suppliers.
