What We Do
Seven services across the full GDS lifecycle. Everything starts with the signature proposition: a GDS Alpha in one week.
The One-Week Alpha Intensive
Compress a GDS Alpha from six to eight weeks into a one-week intensive, delivering an Alpha-assessment-ready output. Proven on a nationally critical, live, regulated government service.
How the one-week intensive worksOutcome
An Alpha-ready prototype, user-validated journeys, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility sign-off, and a GDS-assessment artefact pack, delivered in five working days.
Proven on
ImmForm, the UK's national vaccine supply chain platform. Serving DHSC, NHS England, UKHSA. A live, regulated, nationally critical government service.
Pricing
Fixed price. Scope controlled and agreed at Discovery handover. Infomax carries the delivery risk.
Further services
From Discovery sprint to ongoing agentic support: the full GDS lifecycle with one supplier.
Discovery Sprints
Agentic discovery feeding directly into Alpha. Rapid user research synthesis, persona development, journey mapping, and problem framing, delivered as a structured handover pack ready for the One-Week Alpha Intensive.
Outcome
A complete Discovery output: user research synthesis, personas, as-is journeys, prioritised problem statements, and an Alpha scope brief, ready for the one-week intensive to begin.
GDS-Compliant Build (Beta)
Production-grade Beta build following GDS Service Standard, with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, full integration with the buyer's cloud estate, and Beta assessment preparation.
Outcome
A Beta-ready service: GDS Service Standard compliant, accessible, integrated, and assessed. Ready for public deployment or onward iteration.
Agentic Support: L2/L3 Replacement
GitHub-issue-driven support for services in production. An AI agent diagnoses and proposes every fix; a named human approves before merge. Every production change stays accountable, while the agent does the diagnostic heavy lifting.
Outcome
Faster resolution times, lower cost per incident, and complete audit trails, without compromising accountability in a regulated environment.
Cloud Platform Modernisation
Cloud-agnostic modernisation across AWS and Azure. The public sector estate is split, and Infomax delivers across both, fitting the buyer's existing infrastructure rather than requiring migration to a preferred platform.
Outcome
A modernised, cost-optimised, well-architected cloud platform aligned to the buyer's estate, with security and governance controls appropriate to the service's risk profile.
Information Governance and Security Assurance
ISO 27001, Data Security and Protection (DSP) Toolkit, NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), SIRO and information-risk advisory, delivered by people with first-hand accountability for these frameworks on a nationally critical health service.
Outcome
Demonstrable compliance with the regulatory frameworks applicable to your service, with the audit trail and documentation to support assessment or inspection.
Responsible AI and Data Governance
Governance frameworks and assurance for AI adoption in regulated environments. Covering AI risk classification, data governance design, bias and fairness review, transparency obligations, and alignment with the UK AI governance landscape including CDDO guidance, ICO expectations, and the NHS AI assurance framework.
Outcome
A governed, auditable AI deployment with documented risk classification, data lineage, bias assessment, and accountability structures that stand up to regulatory scrutiny and public sector assurance requirements.
