A.
Design work for the software that was to become MyGov started in May 2010 and cost £32,550. The www.mygov.je website went live on 13 September 2011.
The cost of development of the core system was £127,750. A further £15,425 was spent on enhancements prior to go live and £12,875 on changes in the three months after go live.
£2,500 was spent on promoting the system and £10,230 was spent on creation of an operational model.
The total cost of development of the system was therefore £201,330.
The Driver and Vehicle Standards department, Planning and Environment department and Treasury subsequently built functionality on top of the MyGov platform and funded that functionality separately.
