I'm sure Sky have their own reasons for not fully updating their coverage of a story that developed throughout the day yesterday, but the current position - indeed, the position since well before tea time yesterday - is that the government did not commission this report and Deloitte did not have access to the Cabinet Office (a.k.a. Number 10) or any other government department.
It is being explained away as an unsolicited pitch document, frankly I think the current focus on the use of fake news in political campaigning is more instructive.
