IBM Maximo for UK public sector and defence

Public-sector estates have to last decades and survive multiple procurement cycles. We design Maximo so the data, the documentation and the configuration outlive any one supplier — including us.

Operational and regulatory context

G-Cloud framework — MaxIron services procurable through the UK Government Digital Marketplace

ISO 55001 — asset management system aligned to public-sector policy and governance

HMT Green Book — asset condition data feeding capex appraisal cleanly

Government Service Standard / Technology Code of Practice — service design and digital delivery alignment

WCAG 2.2 AA — accessibility for any custom UI elements

OFFICIAL / OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE — security classification handling for hosting and access

Where Maximo earns its keep in this sector

Federated estates across multiple agencies, districts or trusts

Long-term stewardship across procurement cycles and administration changes

Public-sector security classifications without restricting collaboration

Capex appraisal that depends on credible asset condition data

Avoiding bespoke configurations that lock in any single supplier

Public sector estates run on long-term, evidenced asset management

Defence, central government, local authorities, NHS estates, ports and rail authorities all manage public assets where stewardship, evidence and value-for-money are the running questions. IBM Maximo is one of the most widely-used EAM platforms across UK public-sector asset estates, in part because the data it captures is naturally compatible with the way the National Audit Office and parliamentary committees look at asset performance.

Procured through G-Cloud, delivered to public-sector standards

MaxIron is listed on the UK Government Digital Marketplace (G-Cloud), which means our IBM Maximo implementation, MAS upgrade, managed hosting and application support services are procurable directly through the G-Cloud framework without a separate competitive procurement. We work to standard public-sector controls including the Government Service Standard, Technology Code of Practice, the Service Manual, accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) and security classifications including OFFICIAL and OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE.

ISO 55001 and HMT Green Book alignment

Public-sector asset management increasingly uses ISO 55001 as the policy and governance framework, with HMT Green Book economic appraisal driving capex prioritisation. We design Maximo so that asset condition, risk and remaining-life data feed those decisions cleanly, rather than living in spreadsheets that diverge from the system of record.

Multi-tenant and federated estates

Many public-sector clients run federated estates — multiple agencies, MoD lots, local authority districts or NHS trusts — under one platform. We design tenancy, data segregation and reporting roll-ups so that each entity owns its own data and the centre can still report consistently. This is harder than it looks if it is left until late in the implementation; we build it in from the start.

Long-term value, not just project go-live

Public-sector Maximo estates have to last decades, often through multiple administrations and procurement cycles. We design configurations that minimise lock-in, document everything to standards an incoming supplier can pick up, and avoid bespoke code that becomes orphan software. That discipline is what makes us a credible long-term partner under public-sector procurement.

Beyond Manage: estate, facilities and capex prioritisation on the same platform

Public-sector estates rarely look like a refinery or a network. The conversation beyond Manage is usually IWMS-shaped — leases, space, capital projects and facilities operations across a federated estate — and Health-shaped, defending the capital case with evidence the National Audit Office can read. Both run on the same MAS platform as Manage, on the same managed cloud, under the same controls.

Public sector — frequently asked questions

Are MaxIron services available through G-Cloud?

Yes. MaxIron is listed on the UK Government Digital Marketplace under G-Cloud as supplier 721548. Implementation, MAS upgrade, managed hosting, application support and our Maximo Health Check & Heal service are procurable directly through the framework. The listing is verifiable at https://www.applytosupply.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/g-cloud/supplier/721548.

Can you operate at OFFICIAL and OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE classifications?

Yes. Our delivery and managed-hosting practices are designed to comply with public-sector security classifications. Specific deployments are agreed against the client security architecture and accreditation requirements.

Do you support federated multi-agency Maximo estates?

Yes. We design tenancy, data segregation and reporting roll-ups so each agency, district or trust owns its own data while the centre still gets consistent reporting. This pattern is set up in the foundation, not retrofitted later.

How do you handle accessibility and digital service standards?

Maximo configurations and any custom UI elements we build are tested against WCAG 2.2 AA. We work to the Government Service Standard and Technology Code of Practice for any service-design elements that fall under those frameworks.
