UK Shared Business Services, a shared-services provider, manages many of the department's lower-value procurements on its behalf.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of the Department for Science Innovation and Technology's contract awards have been in IT services, research and development and software and information systems.
