Smartphone apps development and budgeting

The request was partially successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

I am requesting information regarding the budgeting and development of smartphone apps by the DWP.

I wish to receive original documents produced by staff at the DWP wherever possible for these projects.

This should include the budgets assigned to these projects, the companies which were contracted to develop them, the specifications for these apps, the decision to scrap/phase out the use of DWP smartphone apps once they're developed, and the DWP's marketing strategy for its smartphone apps.

I would also like any original reports or other documents documents for market research regarding these apps, as well as usage numbers/statistics for any apps the DWP has published.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Owen
