"The Integrated Data Programme (IDP) was designed to address some of the challenges faced with data sharing. One of the ways it planned to tackle data silos was by establishing systematic data sharing agreements across the public sector through the Integrated Data Service (IDS). It was originally given budget to run until 2029. But the project will now be shuttered in March 2026."
"The project kicked off in 2020 but struggled to make progress, according to National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA), the HM Treasury body which tracks major public sector projects. The risk rating for the 2024/25 financial year remained Red, the same rating it was given the year before, which NISTA said was the result of a review process. "The program was given a RED delivery confidence assessment due to being unable to demonstrate sufficient progress in unlocking cross-government data sharing; limited case studies of analysis undertaken on IDS; ongoing uncertainty in the relationship with National Data Library (NDL) and the future of linked data; [and] lack of a replacement programme director," the report said."
The Integrated Data Programme (IDP) aimed to break down public sector data silos by creating systematic sharing agreements via the Integrated Data Service (IDS). The programme began in 2020 with funding to operate until 2029 but will be closed in March 2026. NISTA assigned a Red delivery confidence assessment for two consecutive years due to insufficient progress, limited IDS analysis case studies, uncertainty over links with the National Data Library (NDL) and the absence of a replacement programme director. ONS will focus IDS infrastructure and datasets on producing core statistics. The NDL is intended to improve public data access and support data-driven services.
