## Notice

The Department for Education (DfE) Digital Communications Team (DCT) are responsible for over 10,000 GOV.UK webpages. We have a legal duty to provide information as a department of state, which we must publish in an accessible format on GOV.UK. Without a fully functioning DCT team we would not be able to meet the Department of State function. DCT is led by user need using data and insight to provide relevant, timely and accessible information and guidance. DCT therefore has an ongoing requirement for contracted services, supporting digital content design and editorial service to enable continuation of business critical GOV.UK publishing.
