The table below sets out the Department’s spend on software licences as follows:

Financial Year

Spend (nearest £000s inc VAT)

2016/17

762

2017/18

1,102

2018/19

2,422

The increase in 2018/19 is mainly due to the modernisation of key elements of the MHCLG IT services which amounted to £1,322k as part of the roll-out of the IT Modernisation Programme.
