Recommendation
The government should publish a technology sovereignty strategy that sets out how it intends to support the development of sovereign alternatives to incumbent providers across the public sector. Informed by the cross-government definition and list of required sovereign capabilities recommended above, the strategy should set stretching targets for the procurement of sovereign, open-source alternatives and detail further support for UK SMEs and start-ups that provide these services. The government should also launch advanced market commitments for the sectors deemed to require sovereign capabilities. (Recommendation, Paragraph 127)
