Valuation Office: ICT
Philip Dunne asks the Chancellor of the Exchequer about spending on the automated valuation model.
Mr. Dunne: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much (a) the Valuation Office Agency and (b) contractors on its behalf have spent (i) in total and (ii) since September 2005 on the automated valuation model. [290968]
Mr. Timms: Expenditure by (a) the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) to secure the investment in its automated valuation model (AVM) technology, to support a range of its activities, has amounted to approximately
(i) £13.7 million in total; which includes
(ii) £6.7 million since September 2005.
These figures include payments made to the VOA's IT supplier, Capgemini, a proportion of which covers their expenditure with third party IT suppliers (under separate contracts). As the VOA is not party to these separate contracts, it is not possible to provide the amount spent by (b) contractors working on their behalf.
