Recommendation
The Cabinet Office was not able to tell us when the inSite system would be functional or how much it will cost. The Cabinet Office stated that such information could only be provided after it agreed a contract with a new supplier. The Cabinet Office said it will not “put prescriptive requirements on the timeline” for inSite.24 It does not anticipate difficulties finding a new contractor, or expect a new contractor to have the same resourcing problems as Landmark.25 However, when the Cabinet Office recently “soft-tested” the procurement, the organisation which came forward was unable to meet the Cabinet Office’s due diligence or provide confidence that it could complete the inSite project.26 21 Qq 11, 12 22 Q 22. 23 Q 15. 24 Qq 13, 14 25 Qq 48, 49 26 Q 50 Managing central government property 11 2 Efforts to reform the management of the government estate Portfolio management
