Who we are

PDS is a joint department of the House of Commons and House of Lords, providing information and digital services to Parliament.

PDS is a joint department that supports the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Together, our team of over 450 dedicated and professional digital colleagues provides technology and intranet services to all parliamentary staff. We’re also responsible for the strategic direction of Parliament’s digital offering through its Digital Strategy. Day to day, we deliver and manage Parliament’s digital platforms, including the website.  

This includes: 

  • designing and developing software to support the work of Parliament
  • running the Parliament website and intranet
  • keeping Parliament cyber secure
  • managing the parliamentary network to keep our systems running
  • providing data and enterprise architecture services 
  • helping colleagues get the most out of technology through training and engagement 
  • project managing and planning for current and future technology needs
  • ensuring everyone has the right software to work safely and effectively 
  • providing computer equipment and accessories, including 24/7 technical support

A rewarding and inclusive culture

This is somewhere we all feel valued, respected and rewarded. Everyone who works here enjoys an excellent pension, flexibility, and career development. Through learning on the job, formal training and qualifications, you can move in different directions, and take your career where you want. You’ll also have the chance to help shape our future.

Help us evolve into something new

We’re changing to reflect modern society, and you’ll get to influence this. Alongside the UNESCO World Heritage site that’s been a platform for democracy for hundreds of years, we’re creating contemporary workspaces. We’re also harnessing digital transformation, inclusive practices, and building somewhere that works for everyone. We want you to be involved, helping to make Parliament happen for us all.
