The report details the findings of the ICT Capacity pilot project, which was commissioned to identify potential capacity issues within the ICT market. In undertaking this work, commercially available market research was reviewed and information obtained from 20 public sector organisations and 13 key ICT suppliers. Details of more than 170 ICT public sector projects, with an annual value of about £3 billion were obtained.
Some specific capacity issues and constraints that could impact on the delivery of ICT public sector projects were identified, including:
Bid capacity - suppliers' ability to field senior experienced bid teams;
Availability of senior experienced personnel, from a delivery perspective; specifically, programme managers, technical architects, and change managers.
Similar roles within the public sector were identified as constraints.
While the specific capacity issues and constraints identified could adversely affect individual projects, it seems unlikely that there will be a widespread shortfall in ICT delivery capacity over the next three years.
