Transforming Public Services 

Helping government deliver smarter, faster and more user-focused public services.  

At Sopra Steria, we support public sector organisations to navigate complexity, modernise at scale and deliver impact where it matters most. 

For over 20 years, we have been a trusted partner to UK government departments, including the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

With experience spanning service delivery, digital product, business analysis, user-centred design and programme management, we work alongside government teams to improve outcomes for citizens and deliver greater value for the taxpayer.

Our approach brings together proven methods, agile delivery and a trusted network of subject matter experts and specialist partners - enabling us to provide the right capabilities with flexibility, transparency and efficiency.

Discover how we helped modernise shared services

We’re proud to have supported a major UK public body in modernising shared services across 31 organisations - using Oracle Cloud and a benefits-led approach to deliver meaningful organisational change. 

This transformation modernised HR, finance and procurement services - overcoming complexity, enabling efficient scaling and driving real organisational change. 

Today, over 22,000 users benefit from a standardised cloud platform, laying the foundation for future growth.

Our approach 

We bring together the right expertise, delivery models and ways of working to help government teams succeed in complex environments. Our focus is on enabling sustainable, joined-up delivery that drives real public value.

We offer practical experience across digital product, business analysis, user-centred design and programme delivery. Our teams work alongside a network of subject matter experts and specialist partners to bring the right skills to each context. 
We shape our delivery models to reflect the structures, responsibilities and relationships within government - particularly across departments and Arms-Length Bodies (ALBs). This supports joined-up working, continuity and delivery that fits real-world constraints. 
We work closely with stakeholders at every level to build trust, share knowledge and adapt as needs evolve - ensuring solutions are sustainable and aligned with broader public service goals. 
We’re familiar with the challenges of working in live service environments, legacy technology estates and shifting policy contexts - focusing on steady, outcome-driven progress. 
Our work is grounded in supporting public outcomes. We aim to strengthen public services that are efficient, resilient and responsive to the people who rely on them.
