The total spend on consultancy contracts by the Department for International Development (DFID) since 2000 is as follows:
£ million 2000-01 284 2001-02 273 2002-03 274 2003-04 270 2004-05 276 2005-06 255 2006-07 270
This includes both consultancy to deliver parts of the aid programme where services are often provided to third parties such as recipient Governments, and consultancy to DFID as an organisation. It does not include all low value contracts issued by DFID Departments and overseas offices, of which there are no consolidated records. We do not hold a central record of spend of management consultants as a separate category. These figures therefore contain spending on all types of consultancy.
The following table provides details of consultants, work undertaken and total contractual value in excess of £10 million.
