The National Audit Office's report highlights a pressing need for the government to reform its procurement processes with 'big tech' to save time and money.
The NAO emphasized the potential for significant savings through improved engagement with tech suppliers, stating that some are 'bigger than governments themselves'.
A cross-government sourcing strategy is necessary, with government commercial functions collaborating to enhance digital transformation efforts, which historically faced challenges.
The report points out that out of 6,000 civil servants, only 15 manage relationships with large tech suppliers, indicating a severe resource imbalance.
