Digital Technology: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to the development of sovereign digital capabilities when procuring government digital services.
- Answer
-
The Government’s blueprint for modern digital government published in January sets out a coordination approach to strengthening procurement of digital capabilities across the public sector, making use of governments' scale to unlock greater value and procure in a way that drives creation of responsible, inclusive and secure technologies.
While each department is responsible for creation of their own requirements and making procurement decisions based on their specific needs, the Government Digital Service will continue to support departments through guidance such as the Technology Code of Practice.
