I propose to take Questions Nos. 525 and 526 together.
My Department has no record of entering into any contracts with Accenture during the period in question. The Department has identified the following payments to a company named Gartner Group UK Limited: in 1997, a payment of £10,579.63 for IT work; in 1998, a payment of £889.96 in respect of research software; and in 1999, a payment of £121.00 identified as e-business conference.
None of these contracts exceeded the public procurement threshold and my Department is satisfied that value for money was achieved in each case.
