FREEDOM OF INFORMATION – DECISION NOTICE
Dear Sir / Madam,
FOI Reference Number: 1689
This is an information request relating to the cost of transitioning to ICBs.
Please include the following information
1. The cost of changing email addresses from CCG to ICB formatted ones
There was no cost for email transition, as this was managed nationally by Accenture and NHS Digital.
2. The cost of branding, for example the design of a new logo
The cost of branding specifically for Derby and Derbyshire ICB was £216 (including VAT) and comprised:
• NHS logos
• Social media icons
• Microsoft Teams backgrounds
3. The cost of building a new website
The new ICS website was developed in-house by a member of staff on a fixed-term contract at Agenda for Change Band 7 (pay range £41659-£47672). The postholder was responsible for the delivery of the ICB’s new website, alongside a range of other web projects. It is therefore not possible to identify the specific staff cost in relation to the ICB’s new website. The website itself was developed using Open Source Software (WordPress) and multisite licence premium theme and plugins. The cost of developing the new ICS website, including hardware, hosting, backup, font, plugins and theme, is £1,228.44 (excluding VAT).
4. The amount spent on advertising to promote the change from a CCG to ICB, for example on social media, print, digital advertising
We did not incur any associated costs around advertising the change.
I hope that this answers your queries with the information we currently hold, but if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
