Our broad remit means we play a major role in people's day-to-day life, from the food we eat, and the air we breathe, to the water we drink.
Digital, Data, Technology and Security (DDTS) is the trusted team for digital across the entire Defra Group. We have around 1000 colleagues across DDTS and our ambition is to make it easier and faster than ever for people to interact with Defra. If you are ready to drive innovation and push boundaries, we want to hear from you. Join us and together we will create a great place for living, and a green and healthy future for all.

GIO provides IT equipment to all 34,000 Defra users and along with the connectivity, hosting and IT support required for Defra to provide its digital services to the public. Our Delivery Portfolio delivers projects that support the Permanent Secretary’s priorities to drive sustainable economic growth, science and innovation and national security.
For example, we enable Defra Group Property to manage, open and decommission offices and provide a modern workplace environment for all staff. We enable Arm’s Length Bodies to deliver critical services in labs, fields, farms and enable Defra to keep communities safe and thriving. This is approximately £55m portfolio that consists of seven domains with multiple IT delivery projects within each, delivered by over 70 resources.
The strategic objectives of our work is to reduce technical debt, drive efficiencies, provide modern digital services for end users and improve digital sustainability. Within the Portfolio, the essence of what we do as a PMO team is to ensure the Portfolio has the structure, tools and support it needs to deliver to time, cost and quality; and to have the right capacity and capability to do so. We provide an effective governance service and act as a central point of contact and guidance.
