Technology should make important services simpler to deliver and easier to use.
That means understanding the people and systems involved before deciding what to build.
Modern software for better public services.
We design and build digital products, bespoke software and AI-enabled workflows for organisations tackling complex problems.
Discuss a project →What we do
Software built around the problem.
Bespoke software
Custom applications for workflows that off-the-shelf tools cannot handle.
Digital products
Useful, maintainable software from prototype to production.
AI & automation
AI tools and workflows that reduce repetitive work and surface useful information.
Systems & integrations
Connect tools and data to remove manual handoffs.
How we work
From an initial problem to working software.
We reduce uncertainty early, then build in manageable increments.
Understand
Map users, workflows, systems and desired outcomes with your team.
Explore
Test the riskiest assumptions with prototypes or technical proofs.
Build
Deliver working software in increments, with regular feedback and testing.
Launch
Deploy with the monitoring, documentation and support the project needs.
Improve
Keep improving the software with your team or hand it over clearly.
What we believe
Public services deserve excellent software.
Why Leitware
A modern approach to software delivery.
Start with the problem
We define the change needed and the people it affects before choosing technology.
Build the right thing
We test assumptions early and build in manageable increments.
Modern engineering
Modern engineering and AI-assisted development help small teams deliver efficiently.
Designed to evolve
We build software that remains maintainable as needs change.
Work in the open
You can see what we are building, why, and where the project stands.
Built around your organisation
We adapt to your existing systems, constraints and ways of working.
Where we work
Technology for organisations doing important work.
Our primary focus is the public sector and organisations delivering public services.
Government
Healthcare
Housing & planning
Local authorities
Public bodies
Mission-driven organisations
We also build products and internal software for private-sector teams.
