In 2023, a new strategy for GOV.UK started to grow the value it represents to the UK. Building on the existing foundational pillars of accessibility, user-centricity and continual improvement.

A new GOV.UK app is at the heart of this strategy. Discovery and a technical proof of concepts are ongoing in this area. Mobile push notifications are a key component of the strategy and will be required ahead of beta and public launches.
