4. How many people across the council (including contractors) are involved with projects on average, on an annual basis?
5. What software package(s) does the council use for project, programme and/or portfolio management? (If none or spreadsheets, please stipulate)
6. In the event that the council uses project management software:

Devon County Council (DCC) believes compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate costs limit under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. This is because DCC do not have a separate project management department, we utilise project management throughout our entire organisation. Therefore, to find and collate all of the information to answer these questions, we would need to contact every department within DCC. Due to the sheer volume of departments we believe this would take well in excess of 18 hours.
