Methods Sector Home Affairs

Home Affairs agencies face new and evolving security threats, rising crime rates, immigration pressures, and societal expectations.

With limited resources and the demands of navigating both the digital and physical realms, good intelligence, analytics, and cross-agency coordination become increasingly critical.

Methods has been a pivotal partner across departments and agencies delivering safe and cost-effective transformation for over 30 years. We design, enable, build, and run digital services which advance and enhance the lives of citizens, consumers, and communities.

Delivered £55M in value

Over 18-months, we developed and implemented an end-to-end benefits realisation approach for the Home Office CTO Automation Centre. This initiative delivered £55 Million in value and met crucial year-one spending review targets. We built organisational resilience and capability by embedding benefits realisation practices into a large-scale Central Government Digital Transformation programme, creating lasting impact beyond immediate project goals.

Live services transformation

We executed a complex transformation of national critical infrastructure, designing comprehensive service models that reimagined operational processes, while implementing strategic organisational change across critical government systems. By implementing a sophisticated and repeatable six-stage transition process, we delivered comprehensive organisational change with minimal operational disruption, demonstrating our ability to navigate complex government technological evolution while maintaining service continuity.

We establish robust Service Management structures and implement enterprise tools that drive discipline, efficiency, and productivity. We have demonstrable expertise in critical government standards including GDPR, NCSC Cloud Security Principles, and Protective Marking protocols.

We bring a clear understanding of public service needs, with many of our team members having direct public sector backgrounds. Our expertise spans Whitehall departments, Blue-light Services, Criminal Justice, and Arms-Length Bodies, enabling us to design and build services that truly meet citizen requirements.
