How ecoDriver is helping the NHS along its Net Zero journey

Posted on by

The NHS has committed to reaching Net Zero for its directly controlled emissions by 2040. Across the public sector, similar pressures are mounting: rising energy costs, stricter carbon reporting, and increased scrutiny over estates performance.

Yet one challenge consistently stands in the way of meaningful progress: a lack of granular, reliable energy data.

ecoDriver, a Bramble Hub partner, is helping public sector organisations turn ambition into measurable action, using intelligent energy monitoring and AI-powered analysis to cut waste and identify opportunities for further energy usage reductions.

Targets without visibility

New buildings are expected to include metering, but installing meters is only a first step towards understanding energy performance. Many estates teams still rely on whole-building meters that provide little visibility into where, when, and why energy is being consumed.

Without detailed insight, trusts risk investing heavily in renewable energy without first addressing avoidable waste. In many cases, energy systems have been installed and commissioned correctly; but over time, settings drift, controls fall out of calibration, occupancy patterns change, and inefficiencies creep in unnoticed.

ecoDriver addresses this critical issue.

Making energy visible

ecoDriver is an advanced Energy Management System that presents granular energy data in a clear, accessible format . It integrates with existing metering infrastructure, where available, and can install additional, open protocol sub-metering where required.

The platform monitors electricity, gas, water, heat, steam, solar generation, occupancy, indoor and outdoor air quality, oil and more . Data is transmitted securely via cellular or network connection, making it particularly well suited to NHS environments where IT access can be complex.

Crucially, ecoDriver is hardware-agnostic: if equipment is already in place and working, it will be integrated, not replaced.

The result is visibility down to building, zone, circuit or even device level, enabling estates teams to pinpoint waste and take action.

From monitoring to measurable savings

Across the NHS, ecoDriver clients typically achieve a 5–10% reduction in energy consumption within 12 months, meaning that ecoDriver can rapidly pay  for itself. In non-clinical environments, savings can be significantly higher.

The impact is best illustrated through real-world examples:

  • At Airedale Hospital, ecoDriver’s analysis identified gas consumption that was not weather-correlated. The issue was traced to a faulty valve, resulting in significant energy waste. Once resolved, substantial cost and carbon savings were achieved.
  • At a Ministry of Justice building,  electricity consumption was reduced by 22% and gas by 18%, delivering over £200k annual savings. Weekly data audits identified optimisation issues with BMS and lighting controls, alternative cooling strategies for IT equipment, and improved holiday planning.
  • In an education setting, ecoDriver identified high weekend consumption, control conflicts between systems, and equipment left running out of hours. One school reduced electricity consumption by over 44% after adopting ecoDriver, while another eliminated 22% of annual electric consumption within the first year.

These were not capital-intensive overhauls. In many cases, they are simple configuration changes, control corrections, or behavioural improvements, which were enabled by access to better data and analytics.

Technology plus human expertise

ecoDriver differentiates itself from other monitoring systems in two key ways.

First, through its Collaborative Energy Efficiency Programme (CEEP), ecoDriver provides regular data audits carried out by CIBSE Low Carbon qualified engineers . This is more than just a dashboard – it is an active partnership. Reports are produced, findings are discussed with stakeholders, and actions are prioritised.

Second, ecoDriver’s AI engine – EDDIE (EcoDriver Data Intelligence Engine) – acts as a built-in sustainability assistant. EDDIE can identify anomalies, generate reports, analyse weather correlation, compare historical performance and recommend corrective actions. It can also be enriched with contextual information such as occupancy hours and equipment types to deliver site-specific insight.

Combined with unlimited user licences , this ensures that sustainability data is not siloed. Estates, finance, sustainability teams and operational staff can all access clear, actionable information.

Beyond kilowatt hours

ecoDriver’s approach goes beyond simple energy usage monitoring . It supports invoice validation, meter surveys and strategic design, engagement programmes, and long-term infrastructure planning.

The Energy Literacy Programme helps staff understand the link between operational behaviour and energy impact. The CEEP programme fosters “Energy Champions” across departments, embedding sustainability into organisational culture .

This matters because Net Zero is not achieved through technology alone. It requires data, expertise, engagement and continuous optimisation.

A stronger public sector partnership

Since 2023, ecoDriver has been part of Built Cybernetics Group PLC, an AIM-listed smart buildings and PropTech group . This provides additional depth in building design, integration and lifecycle optimisation.

Through its partnership with Bramble Hub, ecoDriver is accessible to public sector buyers via appropriate procurement routes and frameworks, simplifying the path from ambition to implementation.

Together, Bramble Hub and ecoDriver enable public sector organisations to:

  • Establish a clear energy baseline
  • Identify and remove avoidable waste
  • Strengthen funding bids with robust data
  • Deliver measurable carbon and cost reductions
  • Build a sustainable, data-driven estates strategy

Net Zero targets are ambitious. But before investing millions in new generation or infrastructure, organisations should first understand where energy is being lost.

How should digital suppliers prepare for the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill?

Posted on by

The UK’s new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill represents the UK’s most significant overhaul of cyber legislation in over a decade, with direct implications for our specialist partners and public sector customers. Introduced to Parliament in November, the Bill is expected to receive Royal Assent by the middle of the year, and then be rolled out in stages throughout 2026 and 2027.

What does the Bill cover?

The Bill includes a number of measures that will have an impact on suppliers and buyers of digital services.

  • 24-hour incident reporting requirement: Organizations must report significant cyber incidents within 24 hours of discovery, followed by a full report within 72 hours, with the threshold capturing incidents capable of significant impact, not just those that are known to have caused disruption.

  • Expanded regulatory scope: The Bill extends coverage to previously unregulated entities including Managed Service Providers (MSPs), cloud platforms, data centres, and critical suppliers that support essential services – this is likely to affect many of our partners.

  • Severe financial penalties: Regulators can impose fines up to £17 million or 10% of global turnover (whichever is higher) for non-compliance, with daily penalties of up to £100,000 for continuing violations. These fines could face an existential threat to non-compliant SMEs in particular.

  • Designated Critical Suppliers framework: Digital suppliers whose disruption could significantly impact essential services can be formally designated, requiring them to meet the same stringent cybersecurity obligations as public sector organisations themselves.

  • Emergency intervention powers: The Technology Secretary will gain new powers to issue legally binding directions requiring immediate action from regulated entities where national security risks are identified.

Additionally, the Technology Secretary receives powers to update the regulations in future without requiring further changes to the law.

Impact on public sector customers

Public sector organisations face significantly expanded obligations under the new legislation. Local authorities, councils, NHS trusts, and central government departments are explicitly designated as essential services that must comply with enhanced cyber security requirements. These organisations will be required to report significant cyber incidents within 24 hours of discovery, followed by a comprehensive report within 72 hours.

Public sector bodies must conduct regular cyber risk assessments, implement robust incident response plans, and ensure their cybersecurity policies align with the Bill’s stricter standards. Board-level engagement is essential, with senior leadership required to understand cybersecurity risks and maintain clear reporting lines for security incidents.

Impact on digital services suppliers

The Bill dramatically extends regulatory scope to include Managed Service Providers (MSPs), cloud platforms, data centres, and critical suppliers that were previously unregulated. Digital suppliers supporting public sector organisations may be designated as “Designated Critical Suppliers” (DCS) if their disruption could significantly impact essential services.

Once designated, suppliers face the same stringent obligations as public sector organisations themselves. They must meet statutory cyber security requirements, manage and reduce risks through evidence-based measures, and submit to regulatory inspections. Suppliers will need to demonstrate security-by-design principles, maintain technical documentation, and ensure their own supply chains meet compliance standards.

For businesses providing technology, cloud services, or managed services to the public sector, supply chain vetting becomes critical. Organisations should assess the cybersecurity readiness of their own third-party suppliers and establish contract clauses that enforce compliance with best practices.

How to prepare

For public sector procurement professionals and their technology partners, early preparation is essential. Key recommendations include:

  1. Appoint a compliance lead: Designate a Cyber Risk Officer or compliance leader with direct access to senior leadership to oversee cybersecurity initiatives and ensure alignment with the Bill

  2. Conduct gap analysis: Map your current cybersecurity posture against the Bill’s requirements using frameworks like the NCSC’s Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) to identify vulnerabilities

  3. Develop incident response protocols: Create detailed plans covering detection, mitigation, reporting, and recovery that enable 24-hour incident notification

  4. Update compliance policies: Align internal policies with stricter incident reporting standards and ensure processes support quick reporting and recovery

  5. Vet supply chain partners: Assess third-party suppliers’ cybersecurity readiness and establish contractual requirements for compliance

  6. Secure board-level buy-in: Educate senior executives on their responsibilities and establish cybersecurity as a recurring board agenda item

Early compliance can be seen as an opportunity rather than just as an overhead. Organisations that proactively align with the Bill’s requirements will not only avoid penalties and reduce cyber risk but also strengthen their competitive position as compliance becomes a key selection criterion for contract awards.

Partner spotlight: Athena P3M

Posted on by

Bramble Hub is proud to work with Athena P3M, a specialist consultancy focused on transforming programme, project, and portfolio performance across the public sector and complex infrastructure environments.

Founded in 2025 by Matt Giddings and Tyler Skerton, Athena was born with a clear ambition: to help organisations deliver complex programmes more effectively, using a combination of deep delivery experience, traditional consulting discipline, and innovative new approaches such as AI-enabled programme management.

Bramble Hub met Matt and Tyler to learn more about Athena.

Experience rooted in complex delivery

“We’re not a body shop. We want to pick out the best people in the industry to solve some of the most complex problems.”

Athena’s founders bring extensive experience from some of the UK’s most demanding programme environments. Their backgrounds span major infrastructure and defence-related programmes, including work across aviation, transport, nuclear, and wider public sector estates.

This experience has shaped Athena’s practical, delivery-led approach. Athena deploys trusted specialists who can make a measurable difference to programme outcomes. The team specialises in areas such as programme recovery, performance improvement, project audits, and portfolio-level insight, supporting clients at critical points in the delivery lifecycle.

Having worked inside large client organisations and consultancies, Athena understands the pressures that public sector programmes face, from governance and assurance through to cost, schedule, and risk management. This insight allows them to engage quickly, identify root causes of underperformance, and help programmes get back on track.

A different approach to programme performance

“We’re trying to change how programmes are delivered in an industry that hasn’t fundamentally changed for decades.”

At the heart of Athena’s proposition is a belief that many of the challenges facing large programmes are not new, but that they can be addressed more effectively by combining established delivery techniques with better use of data and technology.

Athena works across the full programme lifecycle, from early business case development through to delivery and recovery. The team supports clients in navigating uncertainty, managing change, and improving decision-making at pace, particularly in complex and highly regulated environments.

This approach is especially relevant in the public sector, where programmes often operate under intense scrutiny and with limited tolerance for failure. Athena’s focus is on practical improvement: helping organisations see issues earlier, understand their options more clearly, and make informed decisions that protect delivery outcomes.

Using AI to improve outcomes

“AI allows us to flag issues early, find efficiencies, and accelerate programmes before problems occur.”

One of Athena’s key differentiators is how it applies AI within programme and project management. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf tools, Athena develops bespoke, secure AI solutions tailored to individual client environments.

These tools are designed to operate within secure, air-gapped systems, ensuring sensitive programme data remains protected. By analysing large volumes of programme information in real time, Athena’s AI-enabled solutions can help identify emerging risks, highlight inefficiencies, and uncover opportunities to accelerate delivery.

This capability can be applied at multiple stages of a programme, including early planning and business case development, where ambiguity and risk are often highest. By improving visibility and prediction earlier in the lifecycle, Athena helps clients reduce downstream disruption and improve confidence in delivery.

Focused on public sector impact

“We want to bring the experience of mega-programmes into local authorities, councils, and public services that don’t usually get access to it.”

While Athena has experience across major infrastructure programmes, the team is particularly motivated by the opportunity to support public sector organisations that may not traditionally have access to specialist programme expertise.

The Athena founders apply lessons learned from large, complex programmes to more local contexts, including councils, public bodies, and other public services. The aim is to help these organisations benefit from proven delivery approaches in a way that is proportionate, affordable, and effective.

This focus reflects a broader belief that successful programmes are ultimately about outcomes, whether that is improved transport, safer infrastructure, or more resilient public services. Athena’s work is driven by the desire to deliver lasting value and real-world impact.

Investing in the next generation

Alongside delivery, Athena is committed to developing future talent within the profession. The founders are passionate about supporting early-career professionals and creating pathways into complex programme environments for the next generation.

As the business grows, Athena intends to build a sustainable organisation that balances flexibility with long-term capability, becoming a trusted choice for programme delivery.

Working with Bramble Hub

Athena P3M joined the Bramble Hub partner network to collaborate more closely with public sector buyers and complementary suppliers. Through Bramble Hub, Athena can access new opportunities via a range of relevant government procurement frameworks.

Bramble Hub is delighted to work alongside Athena as they continue to grow and bring innovative, delivery-focused capability to the public sector marketplace. For more information about them, see their partner page.

Laszlo Igneczi appointed to lead OpenForum Europe

Posted on by

Recent news from Brussels will interest people who follow digital policy in Europe. OpenForum Europe (OFE), the leading think tank dedicated to open technologies, has appointed Laszlo Igneczi as its new Executive Director.

This development is of special interest to us at Bramble Hub: our Managing Director, Richard Archer, is a member of OFE’s General Assembly, and strongly supports its principles of openness and interoperability. Richard’s involvement reflects our company’s belief that the future of public sector technology should be built on open standards.

About OpenForum Europe

OpenForum Europe is a not-for-profit think tank based in Brussels. Since its launch in 2002, OFE has worked to bridge the gap between policymakers and the technology community.

Its mission is straightforward: to encourage the use of open standards and open source software in government and business. OFE advises the European Commission and Parliament on how to build a digital ecosystem that is competitive, innovative, and accessible to everyone – ensuring that technology serves the public interest rather than locking users into expensive, proprietary systems.

OFE forms part of a wider Open Movement that believes technology works best when it is shared. It creates transparency (understanding what the software is doing with sensitive data), fosters innovation (because anyone can build on top of existing ideas), and prevents lock-in (so customers aren’t stuck with one supplier forever).

About Laszlo Igneczi

Laszlo brings a strong regulatory and institutional experience to OFE.

  • EU Agency Leadership – He previously served for ten years as the head of the Agency for Support for BEREC (Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications), where he played a key role in strengthening the EU digital single market.

  • Diplomatic Experience – Before BEREC, he worked at the Hungarian Permanent Representation to the EU, focusing on the country’s EU Council Presidency in 2011.

  • Industry Roots – His early career was spent in the private telecommunications sector, managing mergers and digital transitions.

A Vision for Change

The appointment of a figure with deep institutional roots suggests that OFE will be well-equipped for robust engagement with European legislation. While OFE has always been an advocate, Laszlo’s experience running an EU agency suggests a future where open technology is not just encouraged but integrated into regulatory frameworks.

Aliter Consulting: helping SAP customers “run better, run secure”

Posted on by

Founded by Gary Jackson over 10 years ago, Aliter Consulting – a Bramble Hub partner – has its roots firmly in SAP. Gary remains actively involved in the business as CEO, continuing to work directly with clients where required. This founder-led, practitioner-driven approach underpins Aliter’s focus on long-term relationships, technical credibility, and delivery that stands up in complex, business-critical environments.

Growth and evolution of the Aliter team

Over the past few years, Aliter has experienced significant growth. The team has expanded from a small group of specialists to around 15 people, with further recruitment underway. This growth reflects both increased demand for SAP expertise and Aliter’s expansion from its strong foundations in SAP technical delivery into a broader set of strategic and operational services.

Whilst SAP technical services remain at the core of the business, Aliter now supports clients across a wider spectrum of services. This includes SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), Cloud ALM, SAP security services, architecture design, secure hosting, and managed support.

Trusted delivery across the public sector

Public sector organisations make up a significant part of Aliter’s client base. The team has delivered work across a wide range of public sector bodies, from local authorities to national organisations.

Although they cannot publicly name some of their key customers for security reasons, Aliter has developed published case studies with West Sussex County Council, demonstrating its ability to deliver tangible outcomes in complex, regulated SAP environments.

Aliter is frequently engaged as a technical authority or ‘critical friend’, providing assurance, stabilisation, and specialist input. Additionally, Aliter has supported UK police forces, large financial institutions, and other public sector organisations, often working alongside internal IT teams and prime suppliers.

Reducing technical debt and maximising SAP value

A defining feature of Aliter’s work is its focus on improving existing installations. Rather than advocating wholesale replacement, the team specialises in designing and modernising pre-existing SAP landscapes. This approach helps organisations reduce technical debt, improve performance and security, and maximise the return on their existing SAP investment.

This philosophy is captured in Aliter’s strapline, Run Better, Run Secure. It reflects a practical mindset shaped by years of delivery experience, recognising that SAP environments are often business-critical, deeply embedded, and not easily replaced.

Security, stability, and public sector confidence

Security and stability are particularly important in the public sector, where systems must remain reliable under pressure and comply with strict regulatory requirements. Aliter’s experience in SAP security, operational monitoring, and cloud-based SAP environments allows it to support organisations navigating these challenges with confidence.

By combining deep technical capability with an understanding of public sector operating realities, Aliter helps organisations modernise at a pace that balances innovation, continuity, and operational risk.

Trends in the SAP market

In a recently published review of 2025, Aliter identified a number of key trends, including:

  • From transformation to control: Organisations are prioritising operational maturity and stability over constant change; this aligns with Aliter’s SAP operations and ALM
  • Cloud as an operating model challenge: Cloud readiness is now about cost control, data discipline, and governance, supported by Aliter’s Cloud ALM, SAP RISE, and architecture
  • SAP BTP as a core platform: BTP has moved into the critical path for integration and extension, reinforced by Aliter’s BTP design, governance, and clean core-led
  • Operational maturity enables speed: Clear ownership, disciplined change, and visibility across landscapes are enabling faster, safer delivery through Aliter’s ALM and operating model
  • Security built into how SAP runs: Security is embedded into day-to-day SAP operations, reflecting Aliter’s SAP security, monitoring, and operational risk management

Looking ahead: adapting to a changing SAP landscape

Looking ahead, Aliter continues to adapt to a changing market. Whilst the business will remain strongly services-led, there is recognition that product offerings also have a role to play: the team is currently working on various new initiatives, such as SAP BTP applications and AI use cases developed through customer engagements. Alongside this, Aliter is investing in thought leadership and attending global SAP events, bringing together perspectives from across the leadership team. This commitment to sharing experience and learning reflects Aliter’s broader ambition to contribute meaningfully to the SAP and public sector communities. See Aliter’s partner page to learn more and contact them.

Stealth Labs: Real AI solutions for the public sector, without the slideware

Posted on by

Artificial intelligence is rapidly redefining what is technically possible across government, defence, and national infrastructure. Yet for many public sector organisations, the way AI is procured and delivered has barely changed. Expensive feasibility studies and months of presentations often stand between an idea and something that actually works.

Stealth Labs – a new Bramble Hub partner – is setting out to change that.

Founded by former Microsoft AI solutions engineers, Stealth Labs is a young company with a clear and unapologetic focus: delivering working AI systems for the public sector, quickly, confidently, and without the traditional consultancy overhead.

From Microsoft to Stealth Labs

The founders of Stealth Labs are Sammy Harris and Steve Chan, both of whom previously worked as AI Solutions Engineers at Microsoft. In those roles, they supported public sector customers across defence, national security, health, and wider government, helping teams take ideas from early concepts through to production-ready systems.

At Microsoft, the founders’ work was grounded in strong software engineering fundamentals, combined with a practical understanding of where AI can genuinely add value. This often meant using AI to understand undocumented legacy applications, embedding AI into existing systems, or designing entirely new services – always with a focus on real-world outcomes rather than experimentation for its own sake.

That experience shaped the way Stealth Labs now operates. Rather than treating AI as a bolt-on or a theoretical exercise, it is used as a tool to accelerate understanding, reduce risk, and enable faster decision-making.

A prototype-first approach to AI delivery

“We want to get away from slideware. We’re not a consultancy that spends six months and half a million pounds just to get to a prototype.”

One of the clearest themes to emerge from Stealth Labs’ work is a rejection of “slideware”. Instead of charging for months of ideation, workshops, and documentation, Stealth Labs builds working prototypes and proofs-of-concept upfront.

When a customer asks whether something is possible, the answer is rarely a presentation. It is a working system.

By using AI to rapidly reverse-engineer legacy applications, explore architectural options, and test ideas in practice, Stealth Labs can give public sector teams confidence early. This approach dramatically reduces both cost and risk, and allows informed decisions to be made in weeks rather than months.

The result is a delivery model that feels fundamentally different to traditional consultancy. Customers are not paying to find out if something might work: they start the project knowing that it does.

Solving real public sector problems

“If you approach the problem from an AI-centric point of view, it’s not whether it can be done – it can be done. It’s about getting enough knowledge to make informed decisions.”

Stealth Labs’ work focuses on practical, high-impact challenges faced by government organisations.

One example is a document intelligence solution designed to tackle the growing risk and inefficiency of large SharePoint estates. Many public sector organisations hold vast quantities of unstructured data across documents, spreadsheets, and PDFs, often with limited visibility of what information is held where.

The solution automatically ingests and normalises documents, applies AI to identify risks such as sensitive or inappropriate content, and enables users to securely query their organisation’s data through a conversational interface. The outcome is improved governance, reduced duplication, and significantly better use of existing information.

Another area of focus is predictive AI: Stealth Labs has developed a forecasting platform capable of analysing complex datasets to predict future locations, events, or outcomes. This has applications across areas such as transport, border operations, and national security, where timely insight can make a material difference to decision-making.

In both cases, the emphasis is not on novelty, but on delivering systems that public sector teams can actually use and own.

Why public sector only?

“Our focus is 100% public sector. It’s what we know, and it’s where we know we can do good work.”

Stealth Labs’ exclusive focus on the public sector is deliberate. Both founders have strong experience in the sector, and Sammy has spent more than a decade as a civil servant, so understands how procurement works from the inside.

That experience brings a clear motivation: delivering better value for taxpayers while enabling public sector teams to move faster. Rather than embedding large teams on long-running engagements, Stealth Labs aims to deliver, transfer knowledge, and leave customers with systems they can maintain themselves.

Ultimately, the ambition goes even further. As AI tools continue to mature, the long-term goal is to reduce dependency on external suppliers altogether, enabling public sector organisations to take ideas to production independently.

A different future for AI delivery

“We’re already reducing overhead for the public sector – and the end goal is that they don’t even need us anymore.”

Stealth Labs represents a growing shift in how AI can be delivered to government – one that prioritises speed, confidence, and real outcomes over process and presentation.

By combining deep public sector experience with a prototype-first mindset, the team is demonstrating that meaningful AI delivery does not need to be slow, risky, or prohibitively expensive.

For organisations under pressure to do more with less, that difference matters.
