The government spent around £8.6 million on recurring software expenses last year.
That's the cost of paying yearly subscriptions for licences to use computer software.
The figure was given by the Cabinet Office in response to a Freedom of Information request.
It also said around £278,000 was spent on tech support for software from outside suppliers in 2025.
