House of Commons Administration – Detailed Contract Report

The Detailed Contract Report includes information on contracts over $10,000 (including amendments) entered into by the House of Commons with its suppliers, as well as agreements established with other entities, in a quarterly period. Additionally, contracts of the same nature with a single supplier and with a lower initial dollar value that reach over $10,000 by the end of the quarter will be disclosed as an aggregate amount. Contracts are disclosed based on their date of creation, not the date of receipt or payment of goods and/or services.

The Detailed Contract Report also includes information about framework agreements (FAs) entered into by the House of Commons, which allow for the purchase of goods and/or services at a future date through call-ups. As the value of an FA is not established at the outset, the value indicated in the report represents an estimated value for the contract period. Where multiple qualified suppliers are listed under the heading Supplier, the value of an FA will represent the estimated value of the FA in its entirety, not the value per supplier. This value must not be interpreted as contractually or legally binding. Where it is not possible to provide an estimate, the value field will indicate “$0.00”.

Call-ups against an FA over $10,000 will be disclosed, by supplier, for the quarter in which they are issued.

An asterisk (*) indicates that some of the information on a line has been revised since its disclosure in a previous report.
