Currently about 600 individual agencies spend billions of pounds across hundreds of separate computing deals, but Whitehall’s central department is exploring models to set standards and deliver approved devices centrally
The Cabinet Office is working on a plan to “centralise and standardise” the provision of laptops and mobile phones to civil servants across all departments, PublicTechnology can reveal.
The proposals will be explored and developed over the course of a research exercise currently delivered by professional services firm PA Consulting – with which the Cabinet Office signed a near-£250,000 five-week contract on 8 February. Work will be overseen by officials from two units based in the department: the Central Digital and Data Office; and the Crown Commercial Service.
Plans for the centralised model have already been shared with the CTO Council led by CDDO and featuring technology leaders from various departments. Throughout the research process – and a potential future rollout – commercial and digital professionals will be consulted, PublicTechnology understands.
In the meantime, PA Consulting has been tasked with conducting a “baseline analysis” of current devices in use across government, including spending levels, products, costs, and delivery models. This research should involve “looking across different types and sizes of government organisations, and potential delivery models, including international comparison”, according to specifications set out in commercial documents.
The Cabinet Office also requires the consultancy to examine the capabilities and functions required of devices used by civil servants, and then to draw up “a set of suggested standard technical design builds for government laptop and mobile phones, based on user research and technical input”.

This should be supported by the provision of “a comprehensive set of costed delivery options” for how the procurement and provision of such standardised models could be centralised and delivered throughout government. Each option should include details for “projected benefits, possible risk”, as well as a full “implementation roadmap for the recommended option” of the supplier – and its assessment of the risks and benefits of maintaining current decentralised buying and delivery models.
The proposals “should be developed enough that CDDO can take forward their preferred option into delivery” swiftly and easily, if and when government decides to implement the proposal.
The research also set out expectations for the “day-to-day operational practices” that would be needed to support the rollout of the centralised model in the long term. This will cover details such as “how would the recommended option be resourced and operationalised, including potential suppliers, phasing, maintenance, technology upgrades and other key factors”.
Commercial documents indicate that the PA Consulting was picked to deliver to the discovery exercise after the Cabinet Office assessed “separate quotes from a number of different suppliers”. Before the conclusion of the engagement – which is scheduled to run until 15 March – the firm will be expected “to facilitate knowledge transfer from PA Consulting to CDDO, and allow the delivery of the common solution across organisations within HMG”.
According to GOV.UK, there are 601 separate and discrete departments, agencies and public bodies that collectively comprise central government. Most of these will be responsible for their own procurement of phones and laptops, and their provision to staff.
A search of online procurement records indicates that, in the space of the last month alone, at least 15 separate contracts have been awarded for the provision of laptops to central government entities. These range from short-term £20,000 engagements to a near-£200m deal awarded by the Ministry of Defence, and also include multimillion-pound contracts signed by the Department for Work and Pensions, Ministry of Justice, and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

You made some nice points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
It is my belief that mesothelioma will be the most dangerous cancer. It’s got unusual traits. The more I actually look at it a lot more I am persuaded it does not conduct itself like a true solid flesh cancer. If perhaps mesothelioma is actually a rogue virus-like infection, hence there is the potential for developing a vaccine and offering vaccination for asbestos open people who are really at high risk with developing long run asbestos connected malignancies. Thanks for expressing your ideas for this important health issue.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?

I want to show my thanks to you just for bailing me out of such a circumstance. Because of checking throughout the world wide web and coming across concepts that were not productive, I believed my entire life was well over. Existing without the approaches to the difficulties you have sorted out through this posting is a serious case, and the ones that might have adversely damaged my career if I hadn’t come across your site. Your personal knowledge and kindness in handling the whole thing was priceless. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a stuff like this. I can at this moment relish my future.

F*ckin?awesome things here. I am very glad to see your post. Thanks a lot and i’m looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
as soon as I found this site I went on reddit to share some of the love with them.
Interesting article. It is very unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has had to tackle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, as well as the first ever real global economic downturn. Through everthing the industry has proven to be robust, resilient as well as dynamic, finding new tips on how to deal with difficulty. There are generally fresh complications and the opportunity to which the business must once more adapt and behave.
Good website! I really love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your RSS feed which must do the trick! Have a great day!

Great post here. One thing I’d like to say is always that most professional domains consider the Bachelors Degree as the entry level standard for an online course. Although Associate Certification are a great way to get started, completing your Bachelors reveals many good opportunities to various employment opportunities, there are numerous internet Bachelor Diploma Programs available from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions offer Online versions of their qualifications but commonly for a greatly higher fee than the companies that specialize in online degree plans.
I just couldn’t depart your site before suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the standard info a person provide for your visitors? Is gonna be back often to check up on new posts
Somebody essentially help to make seriously articles I would state. This is the first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I surprised with the research you made to create this particular publish incredible. Magnificent job!
I have learned a few important things through your post. I’d personally also like to mention that there may be a situation that you will make application for a loan and never need a co-signer such as a Government Student Support Loan. However, if you are getting a loan through a traditional financier then you need to be prepared to have a co-signer ready to make it easier for you. The lenders are going to base their very own decision over a few aspects but the biggest will be your credit history. There are some financial institutions that will as well look at your work history and choose based on this but in many cases it will be based on on your ranking.

I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or blog posts on this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this web site. Reading this information So i am happy to convey that I’ve an incredibly good uncanny feeling I discovered just what I needed. I most certainly will make sure to do not forget this web site and give it a glance on a constant basis.
I’ve learned result-oriented things through the blog post. Also a thing to I have seen is that in most cases, FSBO sellers will probably reject anyone. Remember, they would prefer to never use your products and services. But if you maintain a stable, professional romance, offering guide and remaining in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually have the ability to win a meeting. From there, a listing follows. Many thanks
I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
