A  recurring transfer  of £3,200,698 and 12.0 FTE

The Modernisation and Digital  Department (M&D),  representing the budget and staffing for  the  Digital  team supporting  this department.

 

 

 

 

 

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 by HCS.

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

In addition to staffing, relevant digital applications and related non staff items will also be transferred to M&D. Following a discovery exercise between the teams to determine the relevant applications used within the business, it became apparent that not all applications were fully known or understood, including their contractual position, funding and support arrangements. This represents an operational risk to HCS.

Applications found after this transfer to COO (M&D), will be considered as toxic applications' (applications not found during this discovery period) and support will be provided on a best endeavours basis until an agreement to transfer the support for the application, including the necessary budget, to COO (M&D) has been undertaken.
