To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Robert Neill) of 5 January 2010, Official Report, column 101, on the Central Office of Information: public relations, if she will place in the Library a copy of the Building Britain’s Future Urban Youth contract; which firm was awarded the contract; and what the monetary value is of the contract. (314846)

Livity Ltd were engaged by Cabinet Office to work on communicating the themes in Building Britain’s Future to young audiences. The total value of the contract was £20,000 (excluding VAT).

The Cabinet Office does not place contracts with its commercial suppliers in the Library as they are classified commercial in confidence. In this instance, the contract with Livity Ltd was drawn up by COI. The standard Terms and Conditions were those as per the COI’s Cultural Diversity Framework. A copy of these has been placed in the Library. Future COI Framework Terms And Conditions will be published on the COI website when renewed.
