Maintaining a thriving parliamentary democracy requires the contribution of a dedicated, politically impartial and diverse workforce (currently circa 2,500 in the House of Commons alone) one that takes great pride in supporting the democratic process. Every single individual and team proactively adding value, working collaboratively and committed to securing Parliament’s future in a fast-changing digital world.

You can see some of our work just by looking at the Palace of Westminster. Our team includes a wide range of professions and we support staff in developing their careers.

Nothing on the scale of the works already planned, let alone including the Restoration itself, has been undertaken since the Palace was built. The challenge to mitigate the impact on our customers should not be underestimated. It is not just providing accessible, resilient and flexible buildings for the future but also ensuring that the work of Parliament holding Government to account can continue unimpeded during the years of ongoing works.
