Update on Budget Spent on Outsourced IT and Non-IT Activities for Whole of Government

Mr Leong Mun Wai asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance what is the current amount of budget spent on outsourced IT and non-IT activities for the whole of Government.

Mr Lawrence Wong: A procurement contract will be classified as Information Communications Technology (ICT) contract if the majority of the contract value is for this purpose. On that basis, over the last three years, the Singapore Government awarded an average of about $2 billion and $24 billion per year for ICT and non-ICT contracts respectively.
