Searches within the MPS Commercial Services Headquarters, failed to locate any information relevant to your request, therefore, the information you have requested is not held by the MPS.

The MPS are unable to predict future expenditure for 2024-25 as work has not yet been allocated, so we cannot provide a forecasted figure for this.
