PUBLIC is a digital transformation partner committed to helping the public sector turn innovative ideas into practical solutions.

We started PUBLIC because we were collectively frustrated that the technology revolution we were witnessing was not having a positive enough impact on the public sector. With the ambition to put ‘GovTech’ on the map, PUBLIC emerged as a trailblazer in bridging this gap between government and innovative tech.

Today, we work with a range of organisations - from central and local government to regulators and public agencies - providing our full suite of services including strategic advising, learning and digital up-skilling programmes, digital product delivery and policy monitoring and evaluation.

Combining our expertise around government policy, delivery and technology, we aim to build a public sector that is powered by new technologies and innovative ways of working to achieve better outcomes for citizens.
