The £3 Billion Leak: Why Your Digital Contracts Are Hemorrhaging Cash
National Audit Office highlights £3bn technology overrun. Stop treating contracts as legal filing.
The National Audit Office recently highlighted a £3 billion overrun on UK technology programmes against a £14 billion annual spend. This is not just a public sector problem. It is a failure of contract governance.\n\nDigital delivery for programmes like Universal Credit is running 45 per cent over forecast. That is nearly £1 billion in wasted capital. The cause is simple. Boards sign contracts they do not understand and then fail to monitor the delivery milestones.\n\nIf you are not tracking contract leakage, you are losing at least 9 per cent of your margin to unmonitored rebates and service level failures. Stop treating contracts as legal filing. Treat them as the ROI drivers they are.\n\n
