To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how much was remitted by his Department to (a) PricewaterHouseCoopers, (b) KPMG, (c) Deloitte, (d) Ernst and Young and (e) the Adam Smith Institute in each of the last five financial years for which figures are available.

DFID's central finance records show the following expenditure (in GBP pounds sterling) against the UK and overseas entities of the requested suppliers:
Supplier 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12
PricewaterhouseCoopers 6,492,601.38 12,356,644.52 24,287,934.54
KPMG 29,204,351.09 37,573,146.58 39,439,394.62
Deloitte 1,109,572.08 934,226.03 1,122,022
Ernst and Young 130,760.40 248,235 2,922,172.92
Adam Smith 31,181,433.40 37,083,997.43 44,914,334.60
These remittances comprise payment for services provided directly to DFID but also include remittances where they retain a fee and disburse a much larger amount to others. Such amounts are included within the totals in the table above.
The Department's central procurement records do not hold details of contracts let below the EU threshold, which fall within the delegated authority of spending departments, including country offices. To provide this level of detail would incur disproportionate cost. Those contracts which exceed the EU threshold are subject to the Department’s competitive tender process, in line with EU regulations.
