Government Connect is an initiative led by local authorities, CLG and the Cabinet Office that aims to provide a common infrastructure for secure electronic interaction between local government, central government and citizens.

Since early March 2007, Intellect, with the collaboration of Government Connect, has been convening an Advisory Group to help improve procurement. The group reflects the diverse range of commercial interests involved, including hardware suppliers, software developers, business reengineering suppliers and change management agencies. The merging of the Technical and Business Vendor Advisory Groups, creating an emphasis on ‘Industry’ signifies a much wider relationship between central and local government with respect to the Government Connect (GC) programme, and the important status and role that industry will play in its implementation and exploitation.

Work is underway to develop a web portal enabling industry to share work and promote the services of suppliers to local authorities. Cooperation from industry will also enhance the implementation of the GCSx connections being delivered to local authorities and the development of online services to citizens.

Regular meetings are hosted at Intellect's Conference Suite in Russell Square or at members’ offices and are open to new attendees interested in GC.
