Government Digital Service

Passkeys are being rolled out across GOV.UK One Login, giving more than 23 million users a faster and more secure way to access government services.

10 years ago, GDS launched GOV.UK Pay, one of its flagship platforms used by public sector service teams.

Across government, there is a growing focus on how powers, funding and decision-making can be exercised closer to the places they impact.

GDS and BIST (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) are taking action to deliver government’s ambitions to drive growth into every postcode, reduce the costs of doing business and create a more productive and agile environment.

Turning ambition into outcomes is hard. We often know what “good” looks like, but the challenge for government is translating that vision into action quickly, efficiently and at scale for citizens.

Government spends a lot of time talking about digital transformation, whether that’s implementing new technology, thinking about operating models, or delivering services differently. We spend less time talking about who is doing the transforming.
