4. End User Device Vision The End User Device Strategy is a key enabler in changing the way that government works. It will help departments increase the productivity, flexibility and mobility of their workforce, by delivering a range of standard devices at lower cost so that Government can deliver better, more agile and cost effective public services. Update The pan-government strategy – produced collaboratively by HMRC, Cabinet Office and the 5 largest central government consumers of ICT – has been published. We are mobilising: The core programme team is in place to deliver the strategy over the next 18-months. We are engaging across the wider public sector to ensure a broad consensus and to maximise opportunities for departments and suppliers. • Objectives • Over the next few months we will: • produce the outline vision for the programme and define the outcomes to be delivered and what this means for departments and suppliers • engage with key stakeholders to communicate vision, outcomes and benefits • produce an outline business case to define the costs and benefits for the preferred approach • develop example solutions to highlight the benefits and challenges of implementing the strategy • Opportunities • Currently there are 3 ways that suppliers can support the delivery and implementation of the strategy, by: • working with departments to start implementing the principles of the strategy; • volunteering to help deliver demonstrators that showcase the principles of the strategy; • engaging with us to help refine and shape our approach by contributing ideas, innovation and experience.

5. Greening Government ICT Strategy • Update • Greening Government ICT Strategy published Oct 2011 • Look to the governments’ Green Delivery Unit (GDU) to track implementation of the Strategy, having been instrumental in its production. This builds on : • - Work book of good practice produced to guide departments in delivering benefits by implementing green initiatives • - Highlighted 14 key outcomes and the means of achieving them • Engaged industry and experts to promote ideas and set targets • These initiatives contributed to the 10% carbon reduction within HMG and will support further reductions Vision A cost effective and energy efficient ICT estate, which is fully exploited, with reducedenvironmental impacts to enable new and sustainable ways of working for the public sector Together with tackling cost of public services, the green agenda sits at the heart of Government and the Strategy sets out how government ICT will contribute to green commitments and practices • Objectives • The Strategy details 9 commitments delivered by 17 actions. These fall into the 4 sections of the strategy: • Measurement and Progress Reporting - Transparent • Greening the ICT Infrastructure – Reducing waste and improving efficiency • Exploiting ICT to green: • - Government Operations - reduced business travel and government estate, more effective processes and improved customer engagement • - Public Services - designed, delivered and available to the public in forms which minimise carbon impact and enable the green agenda • Opportunities • Government will work with supplier and research groups to foster and promote innovative green solutions • Government will award contracts that appropriately consider green solutions – as tenders will be assessed for financial and green cost of ownership • Suppliers need to consider their supply chain, the design, manufacture, operation and disposal of ICT and demonstrate how their proposed solutions contribute to greening government ICT A New Way of Working : 21/11/11 :5of8
