I am trying to find out how much the Public sector spends on procurement digital tools in terms of (1) implementation cost to procure and implement digital tools (software) (2) Licenses and other cost of maintaining them etc.

This could be annual spend or spend over the past few years i.e. since 2021 I need the information as a consultant for EY as part of research to improve digital procurement processes.
