The focus of our study

3  We examined:

■  why the Agency chose a partnership to meet their IT requirements;

■  how well the procurement of the partner was managed;

■  whether the foundations have been laid for a successful partnership; and

■  what benefits are likely to arise from it.

These four questions are analysed in Parts 1-4 and findings are summarised below. Our methodology is summarised in Appendix 1.
