The Jersey Public Accounts Committee raised serious concerns recently about the progress being made with e-gov – the digitisation of government services – and made a number of recommendations as to how the project could and should be improved. It said that there was ‘unnecessary tension in the working relationship between Digital Jersey and the e-gov team’ and recommended that they be encouraged to work closer and have ‘joined-up approach between the commercial IT industries and government.’ Digital Jersey chief executive responded to that concern and said that his organisation does wish to work with the e-gov team, however, there are issues with the team’s current procurement policies, which he said did not always support or value local suppliers.
