UK public sector 2012: Grasping the potential for change

Late last year we published our top predictions for the UK public sector SITS market in 2012 (see TechMarketView Predictions 2012 –UK Public Sector). We have now taken a deeper dive to examine the impact of these predictions on the suppliers and the market in 2012.

With many central government contracts coming to their natural conclusion in 2012 and 2013, there is huge potential for change. However, numerous barriers continue to threaten progress and the Cabinet Office's Efficiency & Reform Group will continue to face an uphill battle as it tries to implement the UK Government ICT Strategy. The largest SITS suppliers will see their revenues under threat and will need to look carefully at the way they approach the market if they are to retain market share. The SME community has the potential to make its mark as the G-Cloud programme progresses, but much will depend on how quickly departments and agencies change the way they procure services.
