Public Sector & Government

Government-approved IT.
Without the complexity.

High Tide Group is approved on the Digital Marketplace framework — making it straightforward for public sector organisations to procure our services without a full tender process.

Procurement made simple

On the Digital Marketplace. Ready when you are.

Public sector procurement can be complicated — but it doesn't have to be. As an approved supplier on the Digital Marketplace (Digital Workspace framework), public bodies including councils, NHS organisations, schools, academies and government departments can engage High Tide Group directly, without the time and cost of a full tender exercise.

Our certifications, policies and processes have already been independently verified. The due diligence is done.

Schools and academies

We understand the specific pressures of school IT — tight budgets, DfE standards, safeguarding requirements, and the expectation that everything works from the first bell. We support schools with managed IT, cybersecurity, connectivity and phone systems, all delivered with an awareness of the school day and the impact any disruption has on staff and pupils.

Local government and councils

We support local authorities with network infrastructure, managed IT services, cybersecurity and connectivity — with an understanding of the governance, procurement and data handling requirements that public sector work demands.

NHS and healthcare organisations

Patient data is among the most sensitive data there is. We provide IT infrastructure, cybersecurity and backup services aligned with NHS DSP Toolkit requirements, with the credentials to demonstrate it — ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and a team that understands what information governance means in practice.

Charities and not-for-profit organisations

We work with charities across the UK, providing IT support that respects budget constraints without cutting corners on security or reliability. We understand that every pound spent on IT overhead is a pound not spent on the cause — so we keep things efficient and practical.

Data protection and compliance

Our ISO 27001 certification means our information security management system has been independently audited against international standards. Our Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation means an independent assessor has verified our systems are secure against common cyber threats. Our ISO 9001 certification covers the quality of our processes and service delivery. These aren't just credentials — they're evidence of how we operate.
