As of 13 May 2022, HM Treasury has paid (a) £1.1 million to Methods Business and Digital Technology Ltd and (b) £3.5 million to Veracity OSI UK Ltd for consultancy support in relation to the delivery of the OSCAR II system. Supporting consultancy expenditure was planned at the time the HMT OSCAR II Procurement contract was agreed with Deloitte MCS in November 2018.<\/p>
<\/p>
The contract agreed with Deloitte MSC in November 2018 was for discovery, build, implementation, and ongoing technical support services for the OSCAR II system. The services procured from Methods Business and Digital Technology Ltd and Veracity OSI UK Ltd were for project management, change management and commercial advice to assist HM Treasury in managing Deloitte and the overall project. It would have been inappropriate for these services to be included in the OSCAR II contract with Deloitte MSC.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2018, the total cost estimated in the Full Business Case (FBC) for the procurement of external support with the delivery of the OSCAR II system up to the end of 2023, was £3.3 million. As of 13 May 2022, £5.2 million has been spent on that external support. Approval to increase the scope of the project (including adding three new datasets), was obtained in 2020 and 2021, along with a corresponding increase to the consultancy budget. OSCAR II was never intended to be a static system, one of the critical success factors of the FBC was the scalability of the system.<\/p>
