Due to the higher level of risks to be monitored during the winter, the UK Government Civil Contingencies Secretariat (CCS) puts together a ‘Winter Monitoring Cell’ (WMC) to report on the various risks that may need to be addressed within the UK. This was particularly vital during the winter of 2020/21 with the presence of Covid-19 and Brexit looming.

The CCS required expertise in data science and analysis to ensure reporting was delivered effectively and accurately. To do this they enlisted the services of several experts, including SVGC.

Creating cutting edge technology solutions for the public sector through collaborations between academia and industry.

Working together under a formal ISO44001 collaborative working relationship since 2018, SVGC and FCDO Services have aided The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office’s (FCDO) to execute their Digital Sensitivity Review (DSR) using state of the art digital solutions.

Having provided consultancy support to refine and improve the Defence Nuclear Organisation’s (DNO) requirements and programme management approach, SVGC identified the need for digital innovation to upgrade processes.

The system already in place was robust, but didn’t align with evolving business needs. To solve this, SVGC designed and developed a bespoke integrated capability tool which enabled staff to engage, understand and work with the requirements set and key performance information. The solution enabled insight into project contributions that would stand up to scrutiny for formal approval in this highly regulated environment.
