GDS is a business unit within the Cabinet Office, created to maintain and improve several cross government platforms and tools including GOV.UK, GOV.UK One Login, Emergency Alerts Service, GOV.UK Pay and GOV.UK Notify to name a few. GDS was established to develop GOV.UK as the single and trusted online destination for government information and services, connecting data around users to create a faster, more personalized experience of government.

The new working partnership was established through the Crown Commercial Service Framework. The engagement marks an opportunity for HGS UK to expedite progress and support GDS's long term vision of empowering constituents to access government services with ease. The partnership aims at simplifying and making faster the way people prove their identity to access central UK government services.

Patrick Elliott, CEO, HGS UK, said: “Securing this opportunity was not based on the ability to convey just what we could do today, but rather our unwavering dedication to being a trusted, collaborative partner that conveyed where we could go in the future – together.

We are looking forward to this incredible opportunity to support the Cabinet Office in their vision to redefine the digital landscape of central UK government public services.”
