Tussell and TechUK have unveiled the 3rd annual Tech200 awards, this highlights the exceptional growth of the 200 fastest-growing technology companies in the UK public sector

From the financial year 2021/22 to 2022/23, these companies have demonstrated skills in supplying cutting-edge solutions to government entities nationwide, in anticipation of the Tech200 awards. 

The foundation of the Tech200 awards lies in an analysis conducted by Tussell’s market intelligence platform. By analysing data from over 900 public sector bodies, the ranking is calculated based on the percentage growth in direct public spending with these tech firms. 

How companies get nominated

Companies must have received at least £100,000 in direct public sector spending during the specified financial year to be considered. Embracing a comprehensive approach, the selection process contains various criteria to identify diverse technology firms. 

The Tech200 showcases the diverse and impressive tech scene, featuring top advisors, telecoms, and ecosystem leaders. Each nominee undergoes strict manual validation to ensure maximum relevance and accuracy in the final list. 

Tech200 serves as a testament to the rapid evolution of technology within the public sector and also provides valuable insights into the state and future of the government’s tech marketplace.
