Public Accounts Committee twenty-seventh report; HC 555
"IT-enabled programmes and projects have a direct impact on departments' ability to deliver improved public services and to secure greater efficiency. Central civil government spends annually some £2.3 billion on information technology, equivalent to 16% of total procurement expenditure, yet this Committee has reported on a succession of IT programmes and projects characterised by delay, overspends, poor performance and abandonment. ... the Committee took evidence from the Office of Government Commerce, two other departments (the Department for Work and Pensions and the Home Office's Immigration and Nationality Directorate), and two agencies (the Prison Service and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) to examine the progress OGC has made in improving departments' capacity to deliver successful IT-enabled projects and programmes."
