Conservative manifesto aims for open data
,----[ Quote ]
| Large ICT projects would be opened to
| smaller suppliers by breaking them up into
| smaller components. All government tender
| documents worth more than Â10,000 would
| appear on the Supply2Gov website, a far
| lower level than that currently used by the
| Official Journal of the European Union, and
| a "level playing field" would be created
| for open source ICT in government
| procurement.

Government remains vague on open-source commitments
,----[ Quote ]
| Digital Britain minister Stephen Timms has
| said in an interview with V3.co.uk that
| smaller firms should be given more
| opportunities to compete for public sector
| contracts, but he was vague when discussing
| the government's open-source commitments.
|
| We asked Timms how Labour's strategy
| compares with statements made in the Tory
| manifesto, which promises to open up the
| Â200bn government procurement market to
| small and open-source companies, partly by
| breaking up large ICT projects into smaller
| components.
