Structure
CCTA's Headquarters were based in London at Riverwalk House, Vauxhall Bridge Road, SW1, since used by the . This housed the main Divisions with a satellite office in Norwich which focused on IS/IT Procurement - a function which had been taken over from HMSO (the Stationery Office) when CCTA was formed.
The office in Norwich was in the east of the city, off the former A47 (now A1042), just west of the present A47 interchange near the former St Andrew's Hospital. The site is now used by the OGC.
The HQ in London had four divisions:
- Project support - major IT programmes - software engineering
- Specialist support - evaluation of individual items of hardware and software
- Strategic Planning and Promotion - project management and office technology (hardware and office automation)
- Advance Technology - telecommunications and advanced technology (latest generation of computers)

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows—it must grow; nothing can prevent it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
