Sector focus
Opencast has extensive experience of working across government and the public sector. Our clients include large government departments and non-departmental public bodies, where we have long-standing, trusted partnerships.
Our consultants bring decades of knowledge and expertise across the public sector, including work with the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, Home Office, Scottish Government, UK Health Security Agency, Companies House and Student Loans Company, along with city and county councils including Aberdeen, Gateshead and Leicestershire, amongst others.
Our teams work across a diverse range of projects and programmes, spanning all our services, from individual digital service delivery to significant technology transformation programmes. We are used to working on high-profile programmes, often under intense time pressure and ministerial scrutiny such as EU-Exit and Covid-related services.
We work with our clients across all phases of the digital delivery lifecycle, from discovery to alpha to private beta to public beta, then into live. We are experienced working to Government Service Standards and the Technology Code of Practice, using government design patterns and prototyping kits. Some of our consultants are trained Government Digital Service assessors and we bring expertise in designing and building truly accessible services.
Our consultants are adept at working with diverse stakeholder groups, often managing complex stakeholder landscapes that span multiple government departments and arm’s length agencies. We bring user needs, business requirements and policy intent to the heart of delivery. We also bring a collaborative approach, working as part of blended teams with in-house staff and other suppliers, establishing a shared vision and way of working.
