Demonstrable robustness – when it counts most
GDS assessment support ensures services are ready to meet the requirements of the Government Digital Service (GDS) Service Standard. Passing an assessment is about more than meeting compliance – it’s about demonstrating that a service is accessible, user-focused, secure, and designed for continuous improvement.
This support gives teams the structure, guidance, and evidence they need to succeed in assessment while strengthening delivery practices for the long term.

clear understanding of assessment criteria and expectations
Clarity
identification of gaps and actionable steps to address them
Readiness
evidence, artefacts, and processes aligned with GDS standards
Confidence
the ability to present a strong case during the assessment
Our GDS Assessment support
Support begins with a review of the service against GDS assessment criteria, covering both the Service Standard and any additional departmental requirements. This audit identifies strengths to build on and areas that need further work before assessment.
We work alongside teams to gather the right evidence, refine artefacts, and ensure documentation tells a clear story of how the service meets user needs, follows agile practices, and meets accessibility and security standards.
Where needed, we run mock assessments to replicate the process and build team confidence. This practical preparation ensures that, when the assessment comes, teams are ready not only to pass but to embed GDS principles in their ongoing delivery.
ROI with impact
We believe in creating experiences that not only engage users but also drive real a ROI for your business. We balance strategy with fast delivery without compromising on creative.
