“Our strength is that we can adapt – small teams, large teams, high-bureaucracy environments or fast-moving innovation groups.”
Across the public sector, organisations are under intense pressure to modernise services, streamline operations and deliver better outcomes for citizens. In healthcare especially, digital transformation is no longer optional: it is essential. Codex Software, an international software development company founded in 2011, has positioned itself as a trusted partner for healthcare providers and innovators seeking agile, technically robust solutions.
With headquarters in Cheltenham and development hubs in Poland and Portugal, Codex – a new Bramble Hub partner – brings together more than 100 engineers specialising in full-cycle software development, cloud and DevOps engineering, and bespoke artificial intelligence solutions. Their breadth of technical expertise, combined with a track record of rapid and reliable delivery, makes them well placed to support public sector organisations working to modernise systems and improve patient outcomes.
Bramble Hub met up with Codex’s Denis Lazerev, Anton Zaleski and Matt Smith to explore the company’s success. On meeting the team, it rapidly became obvious obvious that Codex is a company steeped in technical capability, with a track record of delivering quality systems to tight timescales.
Full-cycle software development designed for complex environments
“We work like a start-up but deliver at enterprise scale – our priority is getting value live quickly.”
Codex’s core strength lies in its ability to deliver across the entire product lifecycle, from initial analysis and prototyping, through to full-scale development, integration and long-term support. Their teams work confidently across a range of technologies, including Java, .NET, JavaScript and Node.js, Python, relational and NoSQL databases, graph data models, and all major cloud platforms including AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
This deep technical capability enables Codex to confidently support a wide variety of projects, from modern cloud-native applications to large-scale workflow automation. Crucially, their approach is grounded in flexibility: they are comfortable joining projects at any stage, collaborating with established internal teams or taking full ownership of delivery.
Proven experience delivering digital solutions for healthcare
“Healthcare is a major focus for us – during COVID we built a full appointment system for an NHS Trust in just one week.”
While Codex works across multiple sectors, healthcare has become one of their strongest and most strategically relevant ones. Their experience ranges from staff and rota management tools to patient-facing systems and clinical auditing platforms, all designed to improve efficiency, safety and patient care.
One of Codex’s standout solutions is Audit Angel, a clinical audit platform used to improve quality management, regulatory compliance and operational decision-making. The platform simplifies data collection and analysis for clinicians, reducing the administrative burden that often slows improvement initiatives. It also reflects Codex’s ability to design and build complete software products that scale effectively across NHS environments.
Codex has also demonstrated its capability to work at speed when it matters most. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the team developed and deployed a full appointment management system for an NHS Trust in just one week; helping staff coordinate patient flow at a time when rapid response and operational clarity were essential. This combination of urgency, quality and reliability is a hallmark of Codex’s approach.
Beyond individual products, the company supports healthcare providers in building digital workflows, improving patient engagement, and enabling data-driven decision-making. Their teams are well equipped to collaborate with integrated care boards, digital transformation teams and local innovation groups across the NHS, particularly where new pathways or systems require agile development and technical leadership.
Leading capabilities in artificial intelligence
“AI has become a core part of what we do, from call-centre support systems with human-in-the-loop design to virtual tutoring for higher education.”
AI is another area in which Codex brings substantial expertise, helping organisations introduce intelligent automation, enhance customer interaction and gain greater insight from their data. Their work includes building AI chatbots for customer support, automated agents for workflow optimisation, and decision-support tools tailored to organisational needs.
Codex also supports research-driven innovation through platforms such as RAISE, an advanced deep learning framework based on neuro-evolution techniques. Developed with leading AI researchers, RAISE enables the generation and optimisation of sophisticated AI models. For healthcare, where accuracy, adaptability and trustworthiness are paramount, this capability opens the door to solutions such as improved triage tools, patient communication systems and intelligent operational dashboards.
By building bespoke AI systems rather than relying solely on generic models, Codex helps ensure that solutions align with real-world clinical and operational requirements.
Enterprise-grade integration and workflow expertise
In addition to healthcare and AI, Codex is well known for its enterprise workflow and integration capabilities. Their long-standing work with HP, supporting more than 200 print service providers around the world, demonstrates their capacity to build high-availability platforms and integrate them seamlessly with third-party systems. This experience is highly transferable to public sector contexts, where interoperability, resilience and long-term maintainability are essential.
A trusted technology partner for the public sector
“We’re interested in working with innovators within the public sector, especially healthcare and integrated care boards.”
Codex’s success is reinforced by strong client feedback. Senior leaders at organisations such as HP, Macmillan and Axiell praise the company’s technical depth, reliability and collaborative approach. Their ability to provide high-quality engineering talent – combined with a clear focus on outcomes – has helped them build lasting partnerships across multiple sectors.
For public sector organisations, Codex offers the right blend of skills, scale and experience to support both immediate digital needs and long-term transformation. Whether building new clinical systems, modernising legacy workflows, or deploying AI to improve efficiency, Codex delivers technology that is both innovative and dependable.
Through our thin-prime model, Bramble Hub is proud to offer Codex’s systems development prowess to public sector customers via our presence on public sector frameworks. For more information about them, see their partner page.
