His Majesty’s Treasury (HMT) has appointed Keysource to oversee the successful operation and maintenance of its Online System for Central Accounting and Reporting version 2 (OSCAR II).

OSCAR II is a cross-government system for analysis of departmental spending, from which the Whole of Government Accounts (WGA) and Supply Estimates are produced.

For the duration of the contract which will last for three years, Keysource will operate the hosted environment, ensuring the availability, performance, and security of the OSCAR II system.

Keysource will also manage the service desk and be responsible for delivering user support and service management on behalf of HMT.

Jon Healy, COO at Keysource said, “OSCAR II was developed to put finance analytics at the heart of decisions across government, using more accurate data and spending more time on insight and analysis and less on manual quality checks and validation. Our role is to help provide a secure, scalable, and reliable platform for this financial management and reporting, ensuring the availability, performance, and security of the system. We are extremely proud to have been entrusted with this prestigious and important contract.”

Rachel Salim, Deputy Director Finance Analytics, Control and Technology, HM Treasury, said, “We are delighted to be partnering with Keysource on the two awarded contracts that form part of OSCAR II Service. Through the tender process, transition and first few months of delivery, Keysource have demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation to both their own service(s) and the service of OSCAR II as a whole. We are excited to see how we can evolve the service together over the next 3 years.”
