Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to update computer (a) hardware and (b) software standard packages used in his Department. [166364] Fiona Mactaggart: In line with Government procurement policy most Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the Home Office is now delivered through service contracts which include a requirement to update both software and hardware to ensure that technologies are kept up to date and do not reach end of usable life. While there are major projects managing step changes of both software and hardware there is also ongoing work to ensure that both are up to date and relevant to the business use the ICT is being put to. The extent to which either is fully up to date depends on the relevance of up to date technologies to Government business requirements. All ICT investments need also to pass the test of best value and be subject to appropriate investment justification. The following table illustrates updates to software and hardware planned or under consideration. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what plans he has to update computer (a) hardware and (b) software standard packages used in his Department. [166376] Mr. Gareth Thomas: Computer hardware and software updates are determined and agreed as part of DFID's e-business, ICT and Knowledge Sharing strategic studies. Hardware refresh cycles are subject to a rolling programme based upon the expected life span of the equipment involved--usually every 4-5 years. Details of the current hardware upgrade plans are at Table 1. The timing of software updates tends to be driven by the need to deliver additional functionality, to comply with legislative changes (e.g. payroll) and to remain within support matrices for the products. Details of the current software update plans are at Table 2. Table 1: Hardware upgrades _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
