Future Plans for IT Service Delivery Models - Find a freedom of information request

I am writing under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request information about Lincolnshire County Council's current and future plans for IT service delivery models. I believe this request is in the public interest as it promotes transparency

in how public sector bodies manage and procure IT services, ensuring accountability and value for taxpayers.

 

Specifically, I am seeking information that would help me understand the strategic direction and considerations regarding outsourcing, in-sourcing, multi-sourcing, or optimising existing contracts.

 

Please provide the following information where available:



1. Current IT Service Model - Is your IT delivery primarily in-house, outsourced, or a hybrid approach, and if not delivered in-house, who provides this service?



2. Major IT Contracts - Key details of significant IT service contracts (including scope, value, end date and any options for extension or renegotiation).



3. Future IT Plans - Any strategic plans or considerations for changing IT delivery models (e.g., outsourcing, in-sourcing, multi-sourcing).
 

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.  
 
1. Outsourced. Serco.

2. This information is already publicly available via the contracts register. You will need to register to view but this is free to do. The link is below.

3.  Procurement for a new primary IT service provider is currently in progress.

Procurement for a Managed Detection and Response service is also currently in progress.

Details of both will be published on the contract register once procurement activities are complete.
