The question

To ask the Scottish Government what contracts (a) it, (b) its agencies and (c) the Scottish Futures Trust has or has had with Capita, broken down by (i) the value of the contract, (ii) the date the contract was signed and (iii) the date the contract was or is expected to be completed.

The answer

Answered by Keith Brown on 28 Feb 2018 · 28 days after it was lodged, on time

Gathering information on the date contracts were signed could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost as it would require the search of historical databases, hard-copy archives and individual contractual agreements, therefore the start date, which is held both within the Public Contracts Scotland system and internal databases, has been used.
Through making use of the Public Contracts Scotland system (where Contract Award Notices are published) and internal databases, the Scottish Government, its agencies and the Scottish Futures Trust has, or has had the following contracts with Capita:
