Number of Contracts | £1 to £3m let | Over £3m let | £1 to £3m planning to let | Over £3m planning to let |
Department of Energy and Climate Change | 21 | 5 | 0 | 0 |

Committee on Climate Change | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Coal Authority | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

* The NDA Procurement Plan includes contracts that could be removed at any period as unrequired services
The information requesting how much his Department has spent on monitoring each such contract; and how many officials in his Department monitor each contract is not held centrally and can only be provided at disproportionate cost. The Department of Energy and Climate Change has devolved procurement so that units within the Department monitor their own contracts.
