Detail of outcome

Original call for evidence

Summary

We’re seeking evidence to inform the initial phase of the Seventh UK National Action Plan for Open Government.

This call for evidence ran from
5pm on 25 March 2026 to 5pm on 25 May 2026

Call for evidence description

This call for evidence is the initial phase of building capability for the Seventh UK National Action Plan for Open Government (NAP7). You can find more information about the overall process through the NAP7 participation guidance. It will assess the potential for government, civil society and other stakeholders to co-create commitments to improve transparency, accountability and participation in government.

As part of our commitment to the Civil Society Covenant, we invite individual members of the public, civil society organisations and other bodies to provide ideas on areas of potential focus. As the ideas that are submitted will primarily be used to assess the potential for co-creation rather than developing individual policies, short submissions are encouraged. If an idea for a commitment proceeds to co-creation following the call for evidence, there may be opportunities to provide more detailed input at a later date.

Outcome

The responses to the call for evidence will be analysed alongside internal government outreach to assess the potential for co-creating open government commitments. The analysis will be published here.
