Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA)
In my previous answer to the hon. Member for Faversham and Mid-Kent (Hugh Robertson) on 16 October 2007, Official Report, column 977W, I stated that the ODA had spent some £50 million on consultancy as at 9 July 2007. However, the ODA have since advised me 4 Nov 2008 : Column 289W
that the information they provided for that answer included the cost of contracts and or elements of contracts that were not strictly consultancy services and therefore should not have been included in the figures provided in my reply. The amended figures for the periods are as follows:
£
2006-07
13,676,095.21
2007-08 (up to 9 July)
1,155,508.00
4 Nov 2008 : Column 290W
For accuracy, the non-consultancy elements, that should not have been included in the figures provided in my reply, have been taken out of the information provided in the following table.
The following table provides information on ODA consultancy spend to July 2008, not the value of contracts. I am unable to give details of the total value of the ODA consultancy contracts at this stage, as this could compromise the ODA's commercial negotiating position and lead to an increase in cost.
