CDPS provide direction, standards, guidance, training and hands-on practical help.

They are an arm’s length body of Welsh Government who report their progress quarterly to Welsh Government’s Ministerial Digital Board.

Launched in June 2020 they work collaboratively across public sector organisations in Wales to design and deliver services around the needs of the people who use them. Perago led the delivery of the Alpha phase of their development.

Approach

After an initial discovery phase the Centre for Digital Public Services moved into its Alpha phase in July 2021. Perago was appointed to lead delivery of the Alpha phase.

This included:

— Delivery of the first digital squad into three local authorities

— Creation of a knowledge sharing approach

— An understanding of skills and capability needs

— Leading supplier management in a multi-vendor delivery environment

— Providing communications capability to support the Centre, demonstrating progress, sharing learning and working in the open
