Planned ICT procurements for 2025/26.

Information related to planned Information and Communication Technology (ICT) procurements for the current financial year (2025/26).

This can include details of the ICT budgets or planned ICT projects for 2025/26.

Response 

The Government of Jersey separates their procurement activities into a number of categories, one of which is ‘Digital’.  For the purposes of answering this question we have assumed that data held in relation to the ‘Digital’ category can be used to provide information related to ICT. 

There is not an exhaustive list of planned Digital Procurement activity, however a centralised list is maintained of ‘in progress’ and ‘planned’ procurement activity of which the following have been identified:

Digital Portering Solution

Digital Consent Solution

Digital Fall Detection Solution

Digital Electronic Patient Record Solution for Maternity

Digital Payment Solution for Schools

Digital Business Tax Portal

Value Added Reseller for Software

Value Added Reseller for Hardware

A number of activities have been excluded, because they fall into the category of renewals and therefore are considered commercially sensitive, and as such, Article 33 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.  

Budgets are not held in a way which would differentiate ICT or Digital spend; therefore, the requested data is not held, and Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.
