 <p>Engineers across UK government required practical, safe access to AI coding assistants, backed by evidence strong enough for individual organisations to keep funding these tools from their own budgets once the programme moved on, but instead they had an abundance of licences sitting unused.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the AI Opportunities Action Plan, the UK Government named AI adoption one of the fastest levers it has for civil service productivity. The challenge for this programme was to translate that commitment into practical adoption across engineering teams.<\/p>\n<p>An earlier round of licence distribution had already made one thing clear: access was the easy part. Tools reached engineers, but what didn&#8217;t reach them was enablement, governance support, or any way to measure whether it was working. The department built all three in from the start this time.<\/p>\n<p>Some problems that shaped the design included:<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"cta-grid  pt-none pb-sm block-theme-light block-surface-putty\">\n    \n    <div class=\"container-wide\">\n        <div class=\"cta-grid__layout\">\n            \n                            <div class=\"cta-grid__grid\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"cta-grid__card\" data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-delay=\"0\">\n                            \n                            <div class=\"cta-grid__body\">\n                                                                                                        <div class=\"cta-grid__icon cta-grid__icon--svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                        <svg focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 376.93 505.11\" class=\"cta-grid__icon-svg\">\n  <g>\n    <g>\n      <path d=\"M157.5,340.27l-51.28-48.79c-3.2-3.05-3.33-8.11-.28-11.31,3.05-3.2,8.11-3.33,11.31-.28l38.01,36.17,103.44-143.11c2.59-3.58,7.59-4.39,11.17-1.8,3.58,2.59,4.39,7.59,1.8,11.17l-114.16,157.96Z\" style=\"fill: #00c6c2;stroke-width: 0px\"><\/path>\n      <path d=\"M188.46,505.11l-88.47-68.71c-30.95-24.04-56.42-55.35-73.66-90.55C9.11,310.65,0,271.33,0,232.13V72.31l9.11,1.28c.2.03,21.79,2.84,53.88-4.21,29.57-6.5,74.41-22.96,120.08-64.48l5.38-4.89,5.38,4.89c45.67,41.52,90.51,57.98,120.08,64.48,32.09,7.05,53.69,4.24,53.9,4.21l9.08-1.24.02,9.16v150.62c0,39.19-9.11,78.51-26.34,113.72-17.23,35.2-42.7,66.51-73.66,90.55l-88.47,68.71ZM16,90.1v142.03c0,36.77,8.54,73.66,24.71,106.68,16.17,33.02,40.06,62.4,69.1,84.95l78.65,61.08,78.65-61.08c29.04-22.55,52.93-51.93,69.1-84.95,16.17-33.02,24.71-69.91,24.71-106.68V90.1c-9.92.33-27.38-.12-49.6-4.92-30.51-6.59-76.13-23-122.87-63.67-46.74,40.67-92.35,57.08-122.87,63.67-22.21,4.8-39.67,5.25-49.6,4.92Z\" style=\"fill: #fff;stroke-width: 0px\"><\/path>\n    <\/g>\n  <\/g>\n<\/svg>                                    <\/div>\n                                \n                                                                    <h3 class=\"cta-grid__title h5\">Governance was being solved repeatedly<\/h3>\n                                \n                                                                    <div class=\"cta-grid__content\"><p>Each organisation sets its own security requirements, approvals and AI policy.

Departments joined against defined criteria, which kept each engagement focused and well supported.<\/p><\/div>\n                            \n                                                                                <\/article>\n                                                                    <article class=\"sidebar-grid__item\" data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-delay=\"100\">\n                                                            <div class=\"sidebar-grid__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                                    <img width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.version1.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Version1-Support-Team-NEG-RGB.svg\" class=\"sidebar-grid__icon-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \/>                                <\/div>\n                            \n                                                            <h3 class=\"sidebar-grid__title h5\">Enablement engineers could serve themselves<\/h3>\n                            \n                                                            <div class=\"sidebar-grid__content\"><p>An open-source public best practice repository carried playbooks, prompt libraries, guardrail templates, security configuration guidance and hands-on labs.<\/p>\n<p>A dedicated security workstream produced three reusable assets: configuration guidance, threat models covering generative and agentic risk, and a code quality framework.

Data from the first six-week phase on department selection and support levels directly shaped a redesigned eight-week second phase. Every cohort had a named engineer and a named change manager.<\/p>\n<p>Sponsorship was managed as a delivery factor in its own right. Departments were asked to nominate someone able to act on the programme&#8217;s behalf, rather than the most senior name available, so engineers had real cover to protect their time. Each sponsor was onboarded, coached and given weekly check-ins.<\/p>\n<p>A train-the-trainer model built a champion network, sustained through 19 community events, 960 lunch-and-learn attendances, technical drop-ins and prototype-to-production days. Engineers began running their own sessions and answering each other&#8217;s questions.<\/p>\n<p>The programme also ran a one-day cross-government hackathon in London. More than 150 engineers from 34 departments formed 40 teams, supported by technology partners and judges. Teams tackled real service problems, from digitising paper services to surfacing dark data, supporting casework decisions and making organisational information accessible, and had under eight hours to build working prototypes.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"stats-grid  pt-none block-theme-light

Both figures come from 193 responses tracked across the programme and measured against baselines captured before any licence was activated.<\/p>\n<p>The 8.2 rating and NPS of 48 matter because adoption is dependant on them. Tools that engineers don&#8217;t rate, they don&#8217;t use, whatever the licence spend says. High trust scores are the leading indicator that usage will maintain once the embedded support leaves.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                \n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"single-column-content single-column-content--container-regular single-column-content--align-left  pt-none\">\n    \n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"single-column-content__inner\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n            \n                            <div class=\"single-column-content__content standard-body\">\n                    <p>The move from weeks to days on security review timelines is the number every other department cares most about. Governance was the single biggest blocker to starting at all. A repeatable pattern that removes that blocker is worth more to a new department than any productivity statistic, because it&#8217;s the thing standing between them and day one.<\/p>\n<p>The 58-resource, publicly available, contribution-open repository is why this isn&#8217;t a one-off. Every artefact produced, every threat model, every prompt library, every lesson learned, went into a shared, open-source repository (<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/gds-dtx\/aiengineeringlab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>https:\/\/github.com\/gds-dtx\/aiengineeringlab<\/strong><\/a>) rather than a single department&#8217;s internal drive. Departments joining next don&#8217;t rebuild what&#8217;s already been proven, they pick it up and go.<\/p>\n<p>The self-sufficiency result matters most of all. One department no longer needs embedded support. That&#8217;s the exit criteria for the whole model: prove it works, hand it over, move to the next department. Everything above is evidence this model does what it was built to do.<\/p>\n<p>The programme has become a widely referenced model for AI coding assistant adoption across the UK public sector, and direct evidence of the ministerial mandate for productivity translating into measurable results. Its playbooks, security frameworks and training material remain publicly available, so organisations joining later inherit the work rather than repeating it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n
