The Teams You’ll Meet

Reshaping the public sector: digital collaboration with local government

The Government Digital Service is enhancing collaboration between central and local government, aligned with the blueprint for modern digital government. Through the newly established digital centre of government, we’re driving transformation that goes beyond incremental change, aiming to reshape the public sector through making national platforms, digital expertise and initiatives accessible across all levels of government.

We’re strengthening partnerships, sharing learning, addressing cross-cutting dependencies, improving procurement outcomes and enabling better data exchange to ultimately transform how we work digitally across government boundaries. Join us to explore the specific digital initiatives underway, discover opportunities for collaboration and help shape the future of digital public services.
