Key Highlights

Kable expects that local government ICT expenditure will grow from £3.18bn in 2011 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of just 0.7% for 2016-17. While this suggests flat growth, it masks significant changes at the product and services level.

The shift in the balance of expenditure from the hardware and communications categories to services will continue, with spending on the latter expected to grow from 1bn to £1.3bn by 2016. This will be driven by growth in three key areas: business process outsourcing, managed communications and software as a service (SaaS).
