Public sector work
We're leading specialists in digital service design and delivery for the sector and have been for almost 15 years.
Starting in 2010, when we wrote the DirectGov review with Martha Lane- Fox, laying the foundations for the Government Digital Service and the Agile and Open Source revolution that transformed the way government does digital.
Since then, we've researched, designed and built over 50 live services through the full cycle of Discovery – Alpha – Beta – Live, including services for citizens and businesses, as well as services transforming the back-end of government and the way civil servants work.
Our clients include most central government departments, including Department for Education, HMRC, Home Office, Defra and Cabinet Office, as well as agencies such as HM Courts & Tribunal Service, Health Education England and Marine Management Organisation.
Our services cover all DDaT disciplines at all SFIA levels. We're currently on DOS6, G-Cloud 13, Lots 1-4 and Digital Programmes & Specialists Lot 2, and HMRC DALAS Lot 3, as well as several specialist frameworks.
A proven track record of transforming the public sector.
