in IT procurements. Contracts will be awarded on a value for money
basis.
- UK Government will only use products for interoperability that support
open standards and specifications in all future IT developments.
- UK Government will seek to avoid lock-in to proprietary IT products
and services.
- UK Government will consider obtaining full rights to bespoke software
code or customisations of COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) software it
procures wherever this achieves best value for money.
- UK Government will explore further the possibilities of using OSS as
the default exploitation route for Government funded R&D software."
