We find the best talent for our clients and match candidates to their ideal jobs.
Technology and transformation continue to be key priorities for the public sector. There are many reasons for this, including security, resource availability and heightened scrutiny around the use of public funds. As ministers and senior leaders implement cost-saving measures amid economic tightening, and growing demand for more streamlined and digitalised services, technology represents perhaps the greatest opportunity to improve efficiency.
The opportunities to use tech and transformation are almost endless, from increasing operational functionality so that public sector workers can focus on higher-level tasks, to standardising and harmonising fragmented processes. Accordingly, demand for tech services in the sector – particularly software engineering, data analysis, and transformation – has risen astronomically.
Here, we’ll be discussing some of the strategies Page Consulting uses to help public sector organisations action high quality and cost-effective transformation programmes.
Managing a cost-effective digital transformation programme, while reviewing, prioritising and practising inclusive hiring, is a major challenge for the public sector. However, with the right approach it is possible to tackle multiple priorities at once.
For instance, our hire-train-deploy solution was conceived specifically to close tech talent gaps whilst bringing candidates from underrepresented backgrounds into the technology space. It’s often difficult for public sector organisations to keep transformation programmes cost effective, on budget, and delivered on time. However, a dedicated statement of work contract offering the relevant IT services and can ensure that an organisation only pays for transformation programmes upon delivery of key outcomes, avoiding spiralling costs. Services like these can enable the public sector to deliver on multiple objectives at once during transformation processes.
As a part of FTSE 250 recruitment consultancy PageGroup, Page Consulting has access to one of the largest and most dedicated talent benches, giving us the ability to provide subject matter experts within our delivery teams as and when required. This ability to scale delivery teams, both up and down, further helps to ensure that transformation programmes are cost effective and delivered on time with high quality outcomes.

The tech sector is fast moving; professionals are keen to work with the best and latest technologies. Historically, this has presented challenges for the public sector, which is often perceived to have adopted fewer technological innovations.
However, the sector is now at a point where it is actively implementing new and transformational technologies, giving tech professionals the opportunity to genuinely change the face of this space, and to reshape how it uses tech to manage policy more effectively.
Page Consulting’s recent work with a leading government agency is an excellent example of this trend. The organisation procured our services via the GCloud framework, with the aim of delivering a transformation programme with strong governance and oversight. This involved new technical infrastructure and assurance, as well as new ways of working within a complex environment for both internal and third-party staff. We ensured a successful outcome in this instance by mobilising a programme management function, creating a structure in line with the strategic objectives set out. As is so often the case, the key to success is end-to-end integration.
When it comes to finding and placing specialists, Page Consulting has access to a huge network of professionals across multiple tech specialisms who currently work in the public sector. This means they are already aware of the public sector’s ways of working and the civil service principles, and are more likely to share its values. We are leading the charge not only when it comes to pipelining new tech talent into the public sector, but also building an end-to-end, well-governed and cost-effective framework for transformation. Using a project management office approach, we agree upon outcome-based deliverables with our clients and use them to ensure success, as well as effective transference of knowledge.
A successful transformation project requires novel approaches to resourcing. Page Consulting’s integration with the wider PageGroup gives us the ability to scale activity up or down depending on the fluctuations of the programme. This saves time and money, and ultimately leads to successful delivery of outcomes.
