I've been really impressed by GDS, i know it's popular to bash on the gov but in this case, i really think it's mis-placed, they've been really good. Take a pee

I've been really impressed by GDS, i know it's popular to bash on the gov but in this case, i really think it's mis-placed, they've been really good. Take a peek under the covers and see that their work was adopted in other nations too: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/government-digital-service https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/government-digit...
Now if we're talking about a public tender then of course i agree completely. Are Capita still blocking new Army recruits due only to systems issues 12 years later...
- pydry 6y agoGDS looks good only when you compare it to the big consultancies who previously won IT contracts through a combination of guanxi and bribery. GDS is best seen through an anti corruption lens.
- tehbeard 6y agoGDS isn't really UK gov tech though. This sort of thing would be farmed out to crapita for some backroom bonuses and fall flat as all their projects do.
- bennyp101 6y agoSure, I agree that a lot of what GDS have done is pretty cool - but it would more than likely fall to Capita (and probably somehow shoehorn G4S in there) - and disappear in a hole of money
