The UK government has a track record of embarking on huge IT procurement projects that are dismal failures which prove to be more expensive than doing nothing at all. See the Covid app for example. They even lost Covid case data by storing it in an excel spreadsheet for pity's sake. How can anyone seriously see this as being anything other another massively costly mistake? Maybe someone like Infosys will make consultancy money off the back of it I guess.
