All consultants who require access to a Department for International Development (DFID) office, whether they are providing consultancy or other services, are issued with a temporary security pass after security clearance procedures have been completed. Those contractors providing services without a need to work in a DFID office are not issued a security pass. Disaggregating the number of security passes issued to contractors providing consultancy services in the last 12 months would incur disproportionate costs.
