The Federal Ministry of the Interior intends to update, centralise and enhance the security of the federal IT system by means of the two large-scale projects “Networks of the Federal Government”and “Federal IT Consolidation”. For this purpose, the Ministry commissioned consultants. It needs to ensure that deadlines are met, cost limits are complied with and project results are of the required quality.
The Ministry planned consultancy work only in broad terms, but did not established a quality management system to ensure that deadlines are met, cost limits are complied with and project results are of the required quality. The Ministry was unable to evaluate with criteria the work done by the consultants, and if the service they provided was adequate.
