Working with central government, local authorities, and public bodies, we combine modern engineering practices with deep understanding of governance, assurance, and operational constraints in the public sector. Whether you are building new services, modernising legacy platforms, or integrating systems across organisational boundaries, we help you deliver safely, efficiently, and in line with UK government standards.
Understanding Technology Delivery in Government
Technology delivery in government operates within a unique context: complex legacy estates, strict security and data protection requirements, budget and procurement constraints, and rigorous governance frameworks such as the Government Service Standard and Technology Code of Practice. Services must be resilient, scalable, accessible, and secure, while also being adaptable to changing policy and user needs.
Modern delivery draws on cloud-native architectures, API-led integration, continuous delivery, and automated testing, but must still interoperate with existing systems and processes. Delivery teams are often multidisciplinary, distributed, and working alongside incumbent suppliers and in-house teams.
6B helps government organisations navigate this complexity by combining engineering capability with delivery management, architecture, DevOps, and assurance. Our role is to ensure that what is built is technically sound, secure, maintainable, and aligned with both organisational goals and cross-government standards.
Our Technology Delivery Process
We begin by understanding the scope, constraints, and desired outcomes of your programme or project. This includes reviewing existing architecture, delivery timelines, dependencies, non-functional requirements, security obligations, and governance milestones such as service assessments.
Our teams then shape or refine a delivery model that aligns with your context. This may include agile, incremental delivery of new features; phased migration from legacy platforms; or the introduction of new services and integrations. We define epics, backlogs, and technical workstreams in collaboration with your product, policy, and operations teams.
Engineering teams at 6B cover full-stack web and mobile development, API and integration services, data and reporting solutions, and infrastructure-as-code. We follow modern engineering practices such as code review, automated testing, continuous integration and deployment, and observability through monitoring and logging.
Security and compliance are embedded throughout the delivery lifecycle, from threat modelling and secure coding to penetration testing and support for accreditation. We ensure that solutions follow best practice guidance and align with UK GDPR, NCSC recommendations, and internal security policies.
As services move towards go-live, we support performance testing, operational readiness, and handover to support teams. Post-launch, we provide ongoing enhancements, incident response, and optimisation to keep services reliable, secure, and responsive to evolving needs.
Benefits of Technology Delivery for Government
Robust technology delivery reduces programme risk by ensuring services are built using proven patterns, appropriate technologies, and clear governance. This leads to more predictable timelines, fewer critical incidents, and better value for money.
Modern engineering practices improve quality, enabling faster change with less disruption. Automated testing, continuous delivery, and observability mean issues are detected earlier and resolved more efficiently.
A structured approach to delivery supports compliance with government standards, making service assessments, assurance reviews, and security approvals more straightforward.
For users, effective delivery means services that are available, accessible, and responsive, even at peak demand. For organisations, it enables more flexible, modular architectures that are easier to scale, maintain, and extend over time.

Readiness checklist for Technology Delivery
- Define clear objectives and outcomes for your service or programme, including success measures and non-functional requirements such as performance and availability.
- Document your existing technology estate, key systems, and integrations that the new or updated service will need to interact with.
- Confirm governance and assurance requirements, including service assessments, security reviews, and internal approval processes.
- Identify internal stakeholders and delivery partners, including product owners, policy leads, operations, and incumbent suppliers.
- Decide on preferred hosting models, technology stacks, and environments, or clarify where you need architectural support to make these decisions.
- Prepare any existing design artefacts, user research, and architectural documentation that should inform the delivery approach.
