ICS.AI Named a Top 25 AI Supplier to UK Government

The latest research by Sky News has revealed the scale of UK Government investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The analysis, based on data from 2018 onwards, shows more than £3.35 billion spend on AI-related technologies and services across departments and agencies.  

The dataset reveals a remarkable British success story among the global giants. ICS.AI has been ranked 23rd overall, securing £18.9 million in public-sector AI contracts.

Being recognised within the top 25 AI suppliers across the entire UK public sector represents a major achievement. It demonstrates that home-grown UK innovation is not just competing with the world's most well-funded technology and consulting firms—it's outperforming them. 

A Proud Moment for British Public-Sector AI 

Our position reflects several years of consistent delivery across local government, education and healthcare.  

From early conversational AI to today’s SMART: Unified AI for ALL Platform, our focus has always been on: 

• Reducing pressure and costs for frontline services 

• Improving staff productivity and citizen experience 

• Embedding responsible and ethical AI governance 

• Delivering measurable outcomes, not hype 

Councils across the UK are already delivering savings and service improvement through AI transformation programmes built on ICS.AI technology — with many moving confidently toward AI-Native operations. 

Competing in the Premier League of AI Suppliers 

Being listed alongside multinational giants underscores the trust that public bodies place in ICS.AI. Ranking ahead of some of the most established names in consulting and technology shows something even more important: 

Public-sector organisations value proven outcomes, deep domain expertise,  and responsible innovation over scale alone. 

While others talk about modernisation, ICS.AI is delivering: 

• AI-enabled front-door services 

• Staff Copilot workspaces 

• Ethical AI governance frameworks 

• Behaviour-change models 

• Agentic back-office automation  

All integrated into one unified platform designed specifically for UK public services.  

AI for All — Not AI for the Few 

This recognition reinforces a principle that has guided ICS.AI since day one: AI must be accessible, safe, explainable, and valuable for every public-sector organisation, regardless of size or digital maturity. 

Our SMART: AI Transformation Programme helps councils, universities, hospitals, and emergency services evolve from AI-Curious to AI-Native through a structured, evidence-based approach. Whether supporting frontline staff or automating citizen interactions, the mission remains the same: Make advanced AI capability available to all.  

Thank You to Our Partners and Customers 

We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s leading AI partners to government. But the real credit belongs to the organisations who trusted us to reimagine how public services can work in an AI-enabled world.  

Your ambition is shaping a safer, more productive, more accessible future for society.  

And we’re proud that ICS.AI is helping to build it.
