CDPS work closely with the chief digital officers in local government, Welsh Government and health. As a group, they have identified strategic priorities which are relevant across all sectors, and they meet regularly to discuss, plan and action work to address these.
The group are committed to working in the open and will communicate priorities and progress on a monthly basis through a short video, which will be shared on all our social channels.
This month’s video will be published early next week.

We’re testing our first iteration and already have had some great feedback which will improve how we work together. We aim to publish it via our weeknotes later this month.

This week, the final 3 suppliers presented to CDPS, and a unanimous decision was made during the evaluation. The winning supplier is a Welsh agency that places users and user-centred design at the core of its work.
