UK Government policy is to consider open source solutions, see

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/78959/All_About_Open_Source_v2_0.pdf

Of course, the people's network may not give the option for anything other
than Windows, but it is certainly not because it is 'government funded'.
