*UKHotViewsExtra* Spending Review 2020: Driving forward the reform agenda

In his 2020 Spending Review announced yesterday, Chancellor Rishi Sunak presented some sobering figures on the economy. The effects will be felt by everyone. However, so far, the technology sector has been more resilient than most and the UK public sector SITS market has been particularly protected from the shock. This is highlighted by our updated 2020 growth forecast for the UK software and IT services sector (see Market Outlook Update: Trends & Forecasts 2020-2023).

In UKHotViewsExtra - Spending Review 2020: Driving forward the reform agenda - we look closely at Sunak’s announcements and consider how the funding decisions are likely to impact those tech suppliers targeting Whitehall and the wider public sector. Despite the bleak outlook, there is cause for some optimism; there are many reasons to assume that digital transformation will accelerate over the coming years.
