SaaS Development for GovTech -- UK Specifics

UK GovTech SaaS Market

Four main segments: (1) Local Authority SaaS (housing, benefits, planning, licensing), (2) Central Government SaaS (HMRC, DWP, DVLA -- G-Cloud 14 procurement), (3) Arms-Length Body SaaS (Environment Agency, Ofsted, CQC), (4) Police and Justice (Home Office, NPCC -- SC clearance often required). Pricing models: per-user, per-transaction (GOV.UK Pay), per-authority, or G-Cloud 14 catalogue.

GOV.UK Design System SaaS Requirements

GovTech SaaS sold to UK government must use GOV.UK Design System for public-facing services: (1) govuk-frontend NPM package (exact components -- not reinterpretations), (2) WCAG 2.1 AA (keyboard-navigable, NVDA screen reader tested), (3) GOV.UK One Login (citizen authentication -- P5 email, P9 verified identity), (4) GOV.UK Pay (all government payment collection), (5) accessibility statement (published, linked from footer -- PSBAR legal requirement). SaaS that bypasses GOV.UK Design System for public-facing screens fails GDS procurement assessment.

G-Cloud 14 SaaS Listing

G-Cloud 14 listing requirements: (1) Service Definition document (what SaaS does, features, pricing), (2) Terms and Conditions (Crown Commercial Service compliant), (3) GDPR compliance statement (DPA, data residency), (4) Cyber Essentials Plus certificate, (5) accessibility statement (WCAG 2.1 AA), (6) transparent pricing schedule. G-Cloud 14 gives access to GBP2B+ annual government SaaS procurement. ClickMasters supports G-Cloud 14 listing for GovTech SaaS clients.

Crown Commercial Service Frameworks

Key CCS frameworks: (1) G-Cloud 14 (software hosting and support), (2) DOS 6 (Digital Outcomes and Specialists -- project delivery), (3) Technology Products and Associated Services (hardware and software), (4) SPARK (software categories). ClickMasters: G-Cloud 14 registered for custom software development and managed services. DOS 6 registered for digital outcomes. Both frameworks maximise procurement routes.
