Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether requests for consultancy and temporary staff for his Department must be accompanied by a formal business case.
Major projects and programmes require formal business cases in accordance with HMT rules. Certain procurements for consultancy and temporary staff valued over £10k arising from these projects and programmes are required to have a formal approved (procurement) business case.
