Public Sector Development
We build software for councils, NHS trusts, and government bodies, and we understand the procurement process that comes with it. Cyber Essentials certified, ICO registered, and experienced in responding to tenders under the Procurement Act 2023.
Tender-Ready
We've been through the tender process. We understand evaluation criteria, social value requirements, and what procurement teams look for. Our systems are designed with compliance built in, not bolted on afterwards.
Security & Compliance
All applications are hosted on Microsoft Azure UK South for data residency. We implement encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, comprehensive audit trails, and GDPR-compliant data management including subject access requests, rectification, and erasure.
Accessibility & Standards
Public sector systems must be accessible. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA standards and follow GDS design principles. Our applications support screen readers, keyboard navigation, and work across all modern browsers and devices.
