In case you missed it, earlier this month the UK government published two reviews that will be critical to the future success of public sector technology suppliers.
The Strategic Defence Review (SDR) was released at the start of June 2025. Beneath the headlines about increased spending and NATO commitments lies an ambitious technology transformation agenda that could reshape the defence market.
In our analysis we looked at which sectors stand to benefit most from the SDR, what the MOD is proposing to ensure the success of the proposed technical architecture, considering previous struggles to achieve information advantage, and whether this represents genuine transformation or follows the familiar pattern of ambitious digital visions that have struggled to materialise.
Later in the month, the government’s Spending Review 2025 (SR25) revealed departmental budgets for day‑to‑day spending until 2028‑29 and for capital investment until 2029‑30. As always, there are winners (e.g. health and defence) and losers (transport and official development assistance), but the devil is in the detail.
We assessed the key announcements in SR25 and the likely implications for tech suppliers. This includes building the digital foundations; funding for innovation and the digital centre of government; the impact on health, defence, local government, education and police; the digital skills challenge; and how suppliers should position themselves for success.
