The primary purpose of the capital investment undertaken from Vote 11 is to deliver greater effectiveness and efficiency across the Civil and Public Service. The main areas of spend in this regard are the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) and Civil Service Learning and Development (OneLearning).

The OGCIO is the largest area of capital spend and this supports investment in ICT as part of the implementation of the Public Service ICT Strategy, including the ongoing roll-out of the Build to Share Programme and the eGovernment Strategy. OneLearning is the new Learning and Development Centre for the Civil Service, which is a key element of the Civil Service Renewal Plan. OneLearning is responsible for all core training that is common across the Civil Service and it will be enabled by a new learning and development technology platform.
