Thank you for your request.

The IT Contingent Worker spend for 2020 is as follows:

• Financial Year 2019/20 - £6.53m- Calendar year 2020 - £10.58m

The suppliers we engage with are published, along with spend on the ONS website: https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/organisationdeclarations/paymentstosuppliersover25000

This provides the requested suppliers up to May 2020. We are intending to have this link fully updated with the information for the whole of 2020 by the end of April 2021. Consequently, as we are intending to publish this information in the future, the requested list of suppliers from May to December 2020 is exempt under Section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

We have utilised the GCloud and DOS Frameworks to engage with IT Contingent Workers.

​As at 15 March 2021, we have engaged with 204 Contingent Workers (Contactors & Service Workers) in Digital Services & Technology Division.
