Heritage People partners with UK public sector organisations to deliver software and digital platforms that meet the demands of regulated, high-accountability environments. We understand how government procures, governs, and assures the technology it depends on — and we structure our engagements to reflect that from day one.
Our work spans public sector organisations across the UK, supporting organisations through discovery, procurement, delivery, and long-term evolution.
Navigating Government Procurement with Precision
Our Approach to Government Engagements
Our methodology is shaped by the expectations of UK public sector buyers and the frameworks through which they contract.
Framework readiness and compliance. We engage within the current UK public sector procurement landscape, including G-Cloud and the Digital Outcomes and Specialists (DOS) framework under the Procurement Act 2023. Our engagements are structured to meet framework call-off requirements, with the transparency and traceability that public sector governance demands.
Security by design. Security considerations are embedded from the outset of every engagement. Our approach aligns with Cyber Essentials, NCSC guidance, and UK data protection law. We work to the security posture appropriate to the sensitivity of the data involved, with UK data residency as a default.
Governance and accountability. Public sector delivery demands evidence and auditability. We operate with the documentation, reporting, and change-control disciplines that internal governance and external audit require — and we tailor these to the specific assurance needs of each client.
Alignment with government standards. We align our work with the GDS Service Standard and the UK Government’s Technology Code of Practice. This shapes our approach to user-centred discovery, open standards, accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA, and systems designed for long-term evolution rather than short-term delivery.
Trusted Partner for Public Sector Transformation
Heritage People works alongside public sector organisations that need more than a vendor — they need a delivery partner who understands the operating environment, respects the duty of care that public sector work carries, and builds systems that continue to serve the public long after the initial engagement.
We bring the engineering discipline of a specialist software practice and the operational awareness of a team that has worked in regulated sectors. The result is delivery that holds up to scrutiny: in Cabinet briefings, in audit, and in the real-world use that ultimately determines whether public investment in technology was worthwhile.
