Alison Pritchard Director, EU Exit and Transformation Government Digital Service @gdsteam

GDS and Transformation - 2019 and beyond It was great to hear from the Minister about the support he’s giving to GDS. I’d like to go into a bit more detail about our work. I want to talk about: The mission of GDS and the progress we have made What we will be focusing on in 2019 and beyond

GDS helps government work better for everyone by leading the digital transformation of public services This is our purpose - what we are here to do Scope of organisations we’re trying to help transform also includes local as well as central. Not just central gov departments, is public sector too. And this remains our purpose regardless of the wider context. While we are supporting government to deliver EU Exit - which I will talk about later - we are also working on long-term transformation.

The story so far

2.38 million 249 50 PaaS GOV.UK 5.6 billion sessions 16.6 billion page views 249 million notifications sent in total 2.38 million £108m million on GOV.UK Pay payments worth 50 data registers PaaS 99.99% uptime Digital Marketplace £1.3 last year, bringing the total to £4.22 billion GOV.UK Verify over 7 million secure transactions Service assessments around 200 carried out in the past year Most of you will be aware of the things we build at GDS Having the Government as a Platform suite of common tools, components and guidance means that departments can draw on technical expertise and products that would have been too costly to procure independently. You can see from the figures some of the things we’re doing Examples: GOV.UK - we are currently working with departments to communicate vital EU Exit-related information. GOV.UK Pay - which can be used to pay for emergency travel documents or for electronic visa waivers GOV.UK Notify - which is being used across central government and the wider public sector - including to send reminders for GP appointments The Digital Marketplace is now 4 years old - £4.5 billion has been spent through it, with more than 90% of the suppliers being small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs)
