Question

  • What evidence supports the Government's statement that centralising digital procurement could save up to $3.9 billion, and how much of that saving, if any, is attributable to the Government App Programme?

Answer

The estimated savings were informed by evidence from other jurisdictions and further validated by the financial modelling underpinning the Digital Government Target State. The estimations did not attribute any savings specifically to the Government App Programme.
