Local & National Government
IT services & solutions that will transform authorities and departments without costing the earth.
Improving service through digital transformation
Digital transformation is one of the most influential drivers of organisational change today, challenging public sector organisations to come up with new ways of serving their customers and the public. Our way of life is increasingly digital, and technology is now widespread in large-scale government change programmes.
Since 2011, we have been supplying numerous local authorities and councils and national government departments with managed solutions through various frameworks ensuring a smooth transition process.
Our Frameworks
Having been a successful supplier within the Public Sector for many years we understand the rigorous processes required for procurement generally and within the Local and National Government sector specifically. That’s why we’re delighted to be an approved supplier on several key Public Sector procurement frameworks. This enables you to procure with confidence, both in terms of getting the best value but also being fully compliant with procurement rules and regulations
The challenges.
Local and national government faces a number of challenges, with data information and technology impacting how services are delivered to the population.
Cyber Security
Digital Inclusion and Accessibility
Not everyone has equal access to digital technologies, whether due to economic constraints, lack of digital literacy, or disabilities. Local and national governments must ensure that their online services are accessible to everyone, regardless of their digital capabilities or physical limitations.
Outdated legacy systems
Legacy systems are widespread across government, with most being old, unsupportable, vulnerable and a constraint on transformation. They are critical to service provision but there lacks a clear plan to modernise them.
Lack of IT Staff
Attracting and retaining staff with the right digital skills can be challenging for local and national government. This can result in a skills gap especially with the adoption of new technologies.
Reduced budgets
The reduction of budgets for local authorities and national government departments combined with the increased demand on services has meant that they now have to provide more services with less money, which puts added strain on digitally transforming systems.
Environmental Impact
Environmental and climate change issues are of increasing concern in society, addressing these issues is of growing importance. With the government moving towards a net zero strategy all IT spend will need to be with companies that have strong environmental charters in place.

Carbon Neutral Print
Carbon neutral printers & MFPs from Kyocera.
All new printers, MFPs and Production printers are offered fully carbon neutral. We offer a bolt on to older Kyocera models that allows them to be carbon offset.
How do we offset the carbon of our print devices?
Kyocera can carbon offset all our devices, plus the Kyocera genuine consumables they use over the lifetime of the product (see t&cs), through a simple bolt-on to the device purchase. This covers all elements of production, packaging, transportation, Kyocera consumables, plus Kyocera genuine toner and device recycling. Based on these factors, we’ve calculated how much carbon needs to be offset for each device in our range.
We offset your new Kyocera devices through myclimate, the same partner we use to offset our own UK business operations. With myclimate, we invest in international projects which are certified by CDM Gold Standard. It is the most stringent certification for carbon offsetting projects and is supported by 60 NGOs worldwide. It is the only standard which certifies a project’s sustainable development factors, including co-benefit criteria like healthcare, job creation or reforestation. You can learn more about myclimate from our climate action page.
