Nick Markham helped to ensure that the Department of Health and Social Care handed a 137,460 contract to iDevelop , a management consultancy run by Nigel Crainey .
Civil servants had warned that the contract was not needed and did not represent value for money.
Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting said the contract illustrated the government’s “waste, cronyism and corruption”.
A Whitehall source said the use of consultants on major government projects is standard practice.
The contractor had previously worked with the Department for Transport on major construction projects.
Streeting said the Conservatives are more interested in lining their mates’ pockets with taxpayers’ cash than they are in rebuilding the NHS .
