Request
I am writing under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request information about Newark and Sherwood District Council’s current and future plans for IT service delivery models. I believe this request is in the public interest as it promotes transparency in how public sector bodies manage and procure IT services, ensuring accountability and value for taxpayers.
Specifically, I am seeking information that would help me understand the strategic direction and considerations regarding outsourcing, in-sourcing, multi-sourcing, or optimising existing contracts.
Please provide the following information where available:
1. Current IT Service Model – Is your IT delivery primarily in-house, outsourced, or a hybrid approach, and if not delivered in-house, who provides this service?
2. Major IT Contracts – Key details of significant IT service contracts (including scope, value, end date and any options for extension or renegotiation).
3. Future IT Plans – Any strategic plans or considerations for changing IT delivery models (e.g., outsourcing, in-sourcing, multi-sourcing).
Response
1. In House
2. N/A
3. No future plans, however local government reform will look at considerations.
