I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department and the Office of Government Procurement (OGP), which is part of my Department, engaged the services of one of the named organisations during the period specified.

With the exception of the Office of the National Lottery regulator (ORNL), this is also the case for the bodies under the aegis of my Department. The ORNL have advised that they have not engaged the services of either of the named organisations during this time frame.

The purpose of this engagement for my Department and the bodies under the aegis of my Department was for the provision and delivery of staff training courses and online course development services.

The additional details requested by the Deputy are set out in the table below.
