Department for Transport shared services project ‘tremendously incompetent’
HA HA……Some what fitting
The Department for Transport (DfT) showed “tremendous incompetence” when implementing its shared services project, according to an influential group of MPs.
The Public Accounts Committee, which oversees government spending, said the implementation was “one of the worst cases of project management” it had seen.
Officials did not hold a competitive tender, did not specify the project’s requirements clearly, managed suppliers poorly, and did not leave enough time for testing.
