Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the NISTA Annual Report 2024–25 dashboard, whether an evaluation has been completed for the project entitled Falcon Programme in the Cabinet Office.

The Falcon Programme is facilitating the Cabinet Office's transition from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. This is part of the drive to improve the productivity, security and efficiency of systems in the Cabinet Office and across Whitehall.

As required under the Government Major Project Portfolio (GMPP), the Falcon Programme must go through the standard independent review process. NISTA carried out an evaluation in March 2025 which formed the basis of the review in their 2024-25 Annual Report. A further review is due in March 2026.
