Asked by: Lord Agnew of Oulton (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 24th June 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch on 20 May (HL7143), whether the Government Digital Service has guidance and policies on cost-effectiveness and value-for-money achieved by reporting departments. Answered by Baroness Jones of Whitchurch - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) GDS publishes policy and guidance, including the Technology Code of Practice, Cloud First Policy, and Government Service Standard that departments must adhere to and that support cost-effectiveness and value for money objectives. Where departmental submissions are not deemed cost-effective or value for money GDS can halt further progression using the digital spend controls process that is required for all citizen-facing digital services with a value of more than £100,000, and all technology spend with a value in excess of £1 million. |
