WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 10th MARCH 2015
Question
Could the Minister provide a breakdown of costs incurred by States departments pursuing the now halted e-Government project?
Answer
The eGovernment project has not been halted. One element, the procurement of a lead partner, has been paused while the approach to implementation is refocussed. The vast majority of work to date, notably the design of eGovernment solutions and the component parts required to offer more services online to customers, remains valid.
Since inception in 2013 eGovernment programme spend is £1.47m against a budget of £1.82m to the end of December 2014. All expenditure has been made by the Chief Minister's Department. Significant cost components include:
- £579,000 (vs £595,000 budget) on redesigning gov.je
- £328,000 (vs £328,000 budget) on consultancy fees to establish the core design and business case for eGovernment
- £219,000 (vs £358,000 budget) on the implementation phase, the majority of which is the cost of the eGovernment team.
In addition to the above a Customer Mapping project was carried out in 2012 at a cost of £338,000.
eGovernment remains integral to public sector reform and has the full support of the Chief Minister, who sponsors the programme.
