Independent Public Sector IT Practice

IT Support for Government & Public Sector

A Security-Cleared, Independent Practice Ready to Support Public Sector Contracts

Public sector organisations need an IT partner who has already solved the compliance, security and scaling problems you're facing, not one experimenting on your contract. We design, deliver and manage IT for councils, NHS trusts, housing associations and government contractors, as a fully managed service or a one-off project. Independent, with nothing to resell and no agenda beyond getting your systems right.

Frequently Asked Questions

What security clearances do your staff hold?

We have engineers cleared to SC and DV levels, with BPSS as our baseline for all staff. For long-term engagements, we can sponsor clearance applications for additional team members. We maintain a pool of cleared personnel specifically for public sector work.

Can you work through existing frameworks?

Yes. We have experience delivering through G-Cloud, Digital Outcomes and Specialists (DOS), and Crown Commercial Service frameworks. We understand the procurement, governance, and reporting requirements. We can also work as a subcontractor to prime contractors if that suits your commercial structure.

How quickly can you deploy a team?

For roles requiring existing clearances, we can typically deploy within 2-4 weeks depending on availability. For new clearance applications, timelines depend on the clearance level required - BPSS is fastest, SC typically takes 6-12 weeks, DV longer. We recommend early engagement to align timelines with contract start dates.

Do you provide on-site support?

Absolutely. We can embed staff on-site, provide hybrid arrangements, or deliver entirely remotely depending on your security requirements and preferences. For classified environments, we understand the access and handling requirements for on-site work.

What geographic coverage do you have?

We're headquartered in Liverpool with primary coverage across the North West and the UK, but our cleared personnel can deploy nationally. For managed services, our 24/7 SOC provides round-the-clock coverage regardless of location. For on-site requirements outside the North West, we discuss logistics and arrangements during scoping.

How do you handle sensitive data and information?

We follow government security classification guidelines and handle data according to its marking. Our processes, systems, and personnel are aligned to the requirements of OFFICIAL and OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE information. For higher classifications, we work within your accredited environments and follow your handling procedures.
