Notes:
1. OGC was formed in 2000 by the merger of CCTA, PACE and HMT staff. OGC buying.solutions was formed as an Executive agency in 2001. HMRC was created in 2005 following the merger of Inland Revenue and HM Customs and Excise.
2. When the number is less than five, the exact number cannot be disclosed on grounds of confidentiality.
3. The years for which figures are not available cannot be provided because this would involve disproportionate cost.
