This report examines the Digital Services at the Border programme to assess whether it has delivered value for money.
Digital transformation has a mixed track record across government. It has not yet provided a level of change that will allow government to further reduce costs while still meeting people’s needs.
“Comparisons with the private sector and other defence departments show that at their best, UK defence programmes compare well with good practice in project control. However, the good practices are not being consistently applied in all cases. Project control is vital to successful delivery of projects and our gold standards and recommendations set out in this report mean the MoD and its industry partners should have a clear idea of what they are striving for to consistently deliver successful defence projects.”
The Home Office spent at least £830 million between 2003 and 2015 on the e-borders programme and its successors, but has failed, so far, to deliver the full vision. We cannot, therefore view e-borders as having delivered value for money.
This report examines whether the BBC has managed E20 in a way that is likely to achieve value for money.
The Government awarded, without competition, £16.6 billion worth of early contracts to eight renewable generation projects at risk of investment delay.
“The Government has made impressive progress in creating new childcare places and in providing early education for pre-school children since 1998, but not enough of these new places are yet in deprived areas where they would most benefit children and parents. The Government’s investment will be wasted if the new provision is not viable. More training is needed, especially for childminders, and providers need more support to help them manage their businesses.”

We record government’s progress in ensuring health and social care supplies should the UK leave the EU without a deal.
