This bulletin is part of a regular published series of statistical reports, containing analysis of key QDC/QSC information. Analysis of all contracts that became a QDC/QSC between 1 April 2015 and 30 September 2021 is included.
The SSRO was notified of 422 contracts that became QDCs/QSCs by 30 September 2021. Contractors have one month after the date the contract becomes a QDC/QSC to submit reports, and as of 31 October 2021 the SSRO had received contract reports for 407 contracts that became QDCs/QSCs between 1 April 2015 and 30 September 2021. This analysis is based on these 407 contracts, which comprised 349 QDCs and 58 QSCs.
In the first six months of 2021/22, the SSRO has received contract reports for 41 new QDCs/QSCs, with an estimated total contract price of £6.0 billion. The estimated total contract price of all 407 QDCs/QSCs was £60.0 billion. The average reported estimated contract profit rate across all QDCs/QSCs was 9.38 per cent.
The analysis reflects the most recently reported contract data. All data is taken from reports submitted by the contractor for each QDC/QSC as indicated in the bulletin. The data may not reflect values at contract completion.
