"The standards set out the document file formats that are expected to be used 
across all government bodies. Government will begin using open formats that 
will ensure that citizens and people working in government can use the 
applications that best meet their needs when they are viewing or working on 
documents together."

"The new standards will come into effect straight away for all new 
procurements subject to the Open Standards Principles. The Government Digital 
Service will work with departments to publish guidance and implementation 
plans."

Cheers,
Dave
