Do you have any case studies to share, from a local government perspective, where you have implement tech, digital and innovative solutions, resulted in cost savings, efficiencies or driven tangible results (or all three)?
We want to create a local government hub where we share best practice and case studies from techUK members and from local public service stakeholders.
We are looking for case studies, to highlight projects where local government have identified cost-saving opportunities to boost digital transformation to improve services through tech solutions. It can also lend thought to future IT operations; what are the challenges and digital friction points that councils face and will face going forward?
This will be an ongoing project, but this will form the basis of an LPS hub, to showcase techUK member case studies as best practice, to demonstrate what good looks like and where local government, can understand live use cases.
Please email us with your case study details on:

Join us as we once again put the spotlight on local government tech innovations, reflect on the digital trends and make our predictions for 2025. Plus, we see if the predictions for 2024 were correct!
The work of the LPSC cannot be done with collaborating and hearing from the wider ecosystem of local government, government and industry. That is why it has also launched a Local Government Leaders Forum where councils will be able to present either the challenges they face or share digital ideas and strategies which industry can validate and feedback. This is also a safe space to discuss practical barriers, problems and experience in a non-commercial setting.
