Government & Public Sector Software Development
Services the public cannot choose not to use.
Citizen-facing services, departmental systems, and legacy modernisation for public-sector organizations across several regions and procurement regimes.
What makes it hard
- Procurement, assurance, and reporting obligations that differ with every jurisdiction
- Citizen-facing services that must work for everyone, on any device, first time
- Decades-old systems still running the service their replacement has to take over
- Departments, agencies, and delivery partners spread across time zones, all with a say
How we handle it
- Services built to WCAG 2.2 AA and tested with assistive technology, not signed off on a checklist
- Discovery and delivery documented in the form assurance reviews and procurement panels ask for
- Legacy replaced service by service behind a strangler pattern — no big-bang cutover
- Written decisions, recorded demos, and deliberate hours of overlap so distributed stakeholders stay aligned
Worth knowing before you start
- Hosting region, data residency, and retention rules vary by jurisdiction and are agreed in writing before build
- Accessibility and plain-language obligations are statutory for public services, not enhancements
- Anything a public body ships can be asked about years later, so traceability outranks delivery speed
