The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) Management and Operations contract is with AWE Management Ltd (AWEML). As such, all payments are made to them and not AWE plc. AWE plc is the wholly-owned subsidiary of AWEML, responsible for the day-to day running of AWE.

The following table shows expenditure at AWE in each financial year since 2000-01, at outturn prices:
