Public Sector Market Forecast Update 2020-2023

This report updates TechMarketView’s analysis of the UK public sector software and IT services (SITS) market for 2019 and for the forecast period to 2023. It revisits, and should be read in conjunction with the analysis we published in July (Public Sector Software and IT Services: Suppliers, Trends and Forecasts 2020-2023), as well as our series of reports that deep dive into the six public sector subsectors. In those reports you will find additional detail on the trends impacting the market.

When we wrote the July report - five months ago – we had just come to the end of the first lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The impact on the UK public sector SITS market remained unclear. As a result, we proposed two forecast scenarios, with differing outcomes. While there still remain unanswered questions regarding the arc of the pandemic, its future impacts and its legacies, we have a much clearer picture of how the advent of the C-19 era has affected and is affecting the UK SITS provider community. We have, therefore, revisited our forecasts to provide a better informed view of the market outlook. This update forms the core of this report.

Moreover, the report provides PublicSectorViews subscribers with an additional level of granularity within our forecast model. Across each of the subsectors – central government, local government, health, defence, education, and police - we have dissected the market as defined by TechMarketView’s Digital Evolution Model, i.e. by consulting, solutions, operations and software, offering even greater insight into the market.
