Issue details

To complete deployment of the business-critical Windows 10 Client services Project (Project 2).
The Windows 10 Programme consists of three projects, the first two having been commissioned in 2019:
(i) Project 1 (Infrastructure Services) – technical architecture, services and cloud platform deployment
(ii) Project 2 (Client Services) – deployment of devices and operational applications
(iii) Project 3 (Transformational Services) – realisation of business benefits of the new technology
Project 1 had a budget of £1,951,320 capital and £27,500 revenue, and is in the final stages of completion with a balanced financial position.
Project 2 had an OBC budget of £23,198,005 capital and £268,249 revenue and is making good progress on its deliverables, having been the subject of delays caused by resourcing and international supply chain issues. The FBC is subject to an increase in funding of £2,147,459 capital and £373,910 revenue as a result of the delays noted above and the subsequent global shortage of component parts; the police officer uplift requiring additional hardware purchases; and the decision to purchase SIM cards following the business pilot.


Project 3 is in the process of being commissioned. It has a preliminary budget of £391,000 to procure consultancy services in developing a long-term strategy and FBC to maximise business benefits of the technology and develop early use cases in line with NEP accreditation for launching Project 2. Further funding of £350,000 - £750,000 will be required (depending on the preferred specification) which will be subject to a separate business case and associated approval process.
