What we do at GDS
We pride ourselves on building simple and accessible digital services that work for absolutely everyone in society.
If you’ve ever visited GOV.UK, or received a Covid vaccination text message on your phone, or applied for a passport online, you will have used some of our services.

GOV.UK is the online home of government information and services. It is an integral part of our national infrastructure, essential to living, studying and working in the UK. We want to make it quicker and easier for users to access what they need.
