(b) the cost of the contract?
"For many purchases the price for the goods or services is at a standard rate, eg taxi fares, publications. Payment for these simple purchases constitutes a contract. In other circumstances a letter, email, facsimile, purchase order, or use of a purchasing card will form a contract." Given this interpretation of contracts, the staff resources necessary to collect this information can not be currently justified. However, if the Member has a specific query I will endeavour to provide a response.
