  • The Award of Contracts for Additional Freight Capacity on Ferry Services
    Memorandum to the House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts Department for Transport The award of contracts for additional freight capacity on ferry services FEBRUARY 2019 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Sir Amyas Morse KCB, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund, nationally and locally, have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. The C&AG does this through a range of outputs including value-for-money reports on matters of public interest; investigations to establish the underlying facts in circumstances where concerns have been raised by others or observed through our wider work; landscape reviews to aid transparency; and good-practice guides. Our work ensures that those responsible for the use of public money are held to account and helps government to improve public services, leading to audited savings of £741 million in 2017. Contents Introduction 4 Part One Why the Department has sought additional freight capacity on ferry services 5 Part Two How the Department procured the additional freight capacity 10 Part Three The terms of the contracts with the three ferry operators 19 Appendix One Timeline of key events 23 Appendix Two The scope and evidence base for this memorandum 26 The National Audit Office team consisted of Jonathan Bayliss, Jonny Mood, Sarah Pearcey and Darren Sullivan under the direction of Peter Gray.
