The PSN is a key foundation of the Government’s ICT Strategy to enable and deliver wide-reaching change across the entire public sector. First and foremost, the PSN programme is about enabling cost reduction and greater efficiency. Standardising networks and ICT services, simplifying their procurement, and sharing services across the public sector all reduce cost.

The PSN will create a more open and competitive marketplace for interoperable ICT services, available through frameworks and accessible across the public sector.

The PSN is in effect a secure Internet for the public sector, joining up organisations like the MoD and the NHS, government departments such as the DWP and MoJ, local authorities, the police, and all agencies that deliver public services, whether national, regional, or local.  However the PSN is more than a network. It is a catalyst that can unlock unprecedented opportunities for cost efficiency, business transformation, and improvements in public service delivery.

BT is one of the world’s leading providers of communications services. We have long supported a joined-up approach to the public sector, and enthusiastically welcome the Government ICT Strategy.

We are at the forefront of the PSN, unique in bringing together the experience, credibility, and capability for fully compliant, fully integrated, and fully scalable end-to-end PSN solutions.

We are already contracted to deliver PSN-ready services to tens of thousands of end users at hundreds of sites across the UK. Our portfolio spans network services to next-generation voice to video conferencing, shared contact centres to virtual data centres, and a host of innovative cloud services.

For us, compliance is only the beginning. It’s what you make of the PSN that makes the difference. And no one can make more of a difference than BT.
