Local Government

Don’t reinvent digital wheels. Build better, cheaper services using open-source technology. We’re here to help.

How we can help

  • Strategic discovery
    Laying the foundations for councils embarking on a new phase of their digital transformation to help you meet the objectives you signed up to in the Local Digital Declaration.
  • Discovery and alpha squads
    A ready-to-go squad that can help you understand the problem in depth and build a prototype that meets the core needs of your users.
  • Housing repairs
    We’ve built an open source product to help citizens reporting their housing repair needs. We can help you implement it quickly and affordably.
  • Capability health check
    A review of the skills available in your organisation, and recommendations for building them. Cloud, data, cyber security, user-centred design, digital platforms… we’ve got you covered.
  • Agile coaching
    Helping councils use ways of working that deliver value to citizens fast and effectively so they can identify the right products and services to build.
