Details of the FCO’s spending on Consultancy for each financial year is published in the FCO Annual Report and Accounts, which can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications.

Consultants provide expert advice relating to strategy, structure, management or operations of the FCO, when in-house skills are not available.
