Many organisations. One governed line.
Councils, joint procurements, and cross-agency initiatives no longer need to choose between collaborating and keeping control. The Sovereign Foundry lets teams co-build shared software in one governed pipeline — while every organisation deploys into its own perimeter and keeps its data sovereign.
The same problem, solved eight times over
Every council builds its own rates portal. Every agency builds its own case-management tool. The cost multiplies, the quality varies, and no one benefits from the other’s work. The Foundry changes the economics: build once, govern together, deploy independently.
✗Fragmented today
- —Each council pays for its own build from scratch
- —No shared components, no reused IP
- —Inconsistent quality and accessibility
- —Duplicated maintenance and upgrade burden
- —No common audit or governance standard
- —Vendors lock each organisation into separate contracts
Collaborative with the Foundry
- Shared build cost split across participating organisations
- A library of reusable, governed components
- Consistent quality, accessibility, and security
- Shared maintenance — fix once, everyone benefits
- Common audit trail and governance baseline
- Each organisation owns its deployment and data
Why collaborate on the Foundry
Collaboration without compromise — shared effort, sovereign outcomes.
Shared workspace, separate tenants
Each participating organisation keeps its own Azure tenant and data perimeter. The Foundry provides a shared build workspace where teams collaborate on the same codebase without surrendering sovereignty over their data or infrastructure.
Federated teams
Councils, joint procurements, and cross-agency initiatives can bring developers, business analysts, and subject-matter experts together in one governed environment. Roles, responsibilities, and approval gates are configurable per organisation.
One pipeline, many owners
A single governed multi-agent build pipeline serves every collaborator. Changes are reviewed, validated, and audited with full traceability - so every organisation knows who changed what, when, and why.
Shared components, not duplicated effort
Build a shared library of common components - forms, integrations, accessibility patterns, design tokens - once, and reuse it across every participating organisation. Stop rebuilding the same wheel in every council.
Sovereign by default
Production data never leaves each organisation’s own Azure subscription. The shared workspace holds code and configuration only - the outputs deploy into each tenant independently, preserving data residency and governance obligations.
Procurement-ready
Built for joint procurement vehicles, shared-service arrangements, and collaborative grants. Each organisation can fund its share of Foundry credits and consulting time while sharing the cost of common components and infrastructure.
Who builds together
The Foundry supports any arrangement where multiple organisations need to co-build while keeping control.
Local councils
A group of councils builds a shared rates, permits, or customer-service platform. Each council runs its own deployment in its own Azure tenant, but they co-develop features and share the maintenance burden - cutting per-council cost dramatically.
Joint procurement
A procurement vehicle funds a shared application for multiple agencies. The Foundry provides the governed build environment; each agency takes the output and deploys into its own perimeter with its own branding and configuration.
Cross-agency initiatives
Multiple government agencies collaborate on a shared data exchange, reporting portal, or case-management system. Each agency contributes domain expertise and reviewers; the pipeline enforces each agency’s approval gate before deploy.
Regulated partnerships
Public-private partnerships and regulated collaborations where audit, separation of duties, and evidence of governance are non-negotiable. Every change is logged, every approval recorded, every deployment traceable.
How collaboration works
From agreement to independent deployment — four governed steps.
- Step 1
Agree the scope
Participating organisations agree on the shared objectives, the common components to build, and the deployment targets for each. The Foundry doesn’t impose a model - it supports the governance arrangement you already have.
- Step 2
Set up the shared workspace
A shared Foundry workspace is provisioned. Each organisation connects its own Azure tenant for deployment and invites its team members with appropriate roles and approval responsibilities.
- Step 3
Build together
Teams co-develop features and shared components. The multi-agent pipeline reviews, validates, and audits every change. Each organisation’s approvers sign off before anything reaches their perimeter.
- Step 4
Deploy independently
Each organisation deploys the shared output into its own Azure subscription, with its own branding, configuration, and data. Sovereignty is preserved - the shared workspace holds code, not production data.
Shared code. Sovereign data.
The Foundry’s collaboration model is built on a simple principle: the shared workspace holds code and configuration, never production data. Each organisation deploys the shared output into its own Azure subscription, where its own data residency, governance, and security obligations apply.
No shared database. No shared identity. No shared infrastructure. Just shared effort and a common governed pipeline — with every organisation retaining full control of its own perimeter.
Data residency
Each organisation’s data stays in its own Azure region.
Independent deploy
Each organisation approves and deploys on its own schedule.
Audit separation
Each organisation has its own audit trail and governance gates.
Own your tenant
No shared identity provider. Each org uses its own Entra ID.
