A recurring transfer of £2,101,000  and  12.0 FTE  representing  the budget and staffing for the  Digital  team supporting CYPES.

 

 

 

 

 

After the expiry of 4 weeks following the presentation to the States of these transfers, the Minister hereby authorises the Treasurer of the States to action the transfers outlined in the table above.

Background

In 2019 the decision was made to create one centralised Digital function which aligns with the OneGov principles. The position and service this transfer relates to was historically managed internally by the CYPES department.

Centralising the digital teams will allow for a development and the implementation of a sustainable plan to build ongoing internal capability to support cultural development, with both departments supportive of the rapid development of a MoU / SLAs to set out the details of the in-house service.

Furthermore,  centralising  the  teams  from  multiple  departments  will  allow  for efficiencies to be achieved while transferring the FTEs to the new Target Operating Model (TOM) for M&D.

The breakdown of budget to be transferred that relates to services to be either delivered or naturally managed by M&D is provided below:
