Shredders provided in 2005 for the Department's HQ relocation to 2 Marsham Street were supplied by Anne's Gate Property plc within the scope of their overall PFI contract for the provision of accommodation services. There are around 42 shredders in 2 Marsham Street for 3,500 staff.
Their purchase cost to AGP is not known, nor is the very small element of the monthly PFI charge that notionally relates to the costs of shredders. The shredders are provided for the destruction of privacy marked papers which are not required to be archived. This can be for a number of reasons including the retention of electronic copies and destruction of duplicates.
The number of shredders purchased by the Home Office for the last 5 years.
