8×8 Named in Tech Titans Report as Top UK Public Sector Tech Supplier

Recognition reflects 8×8’s role in the accelerating digital transformation across UK public sector

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As UK public sector organizations find themselves under increasing pressure to modernize, a new report recognizes 8×8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT) as a key driver of transformation.

The latest Tech Titans report by data insights company Tussell and digital trade association techUK highlights vendors helping government bodies unify systems, reduce complexity, and deliver better outcomes. 8×8 stands out for its role in enabling this shift through the 8×8 Platform for CX – the industry’s most integrated customer experience platform, combining Contact Center, Unified Communications, and CPaaS in a single solution.

According to the report, the top 150 suppliers – just 2 percent of the market – captured 84 percent of the UK’s £19.6 billion public sector tech spend, underscoring the growing demand for trusted, scalable platforms like 8×8.

Public Sector Tech Spend Hits Record High – and Set to Continue

The findings, curated from Tussell’s database of government contracts and invoices, show spending surged across central government, healthcare, and national security sectors, while only local government saw a modest decline. The spending is set to continue with at least £28.2bn of Tech Titan contracts set to be renewed or bid for by July 2029.

Organizations need to make the right call

“Between the PSTN switch-off in early 2027, AI demands, and legacy systems past their sell-by date, the stakes have never been higher,” said Jamie Snaddon, GVP, Managing Director of EMEA at 8×8, Inc. “Public sector teams can’t afford – in any sense of the word – to get it wrong. We’re helping them cut through complexity, unify communication, and serve faster.”

The Changing Nature of Public Sector Spending

The Tussell report shows the shifting face of spending and needs across the public sector, revealing:

• IT Resellers Lead Growth: IT resellers saw the highest growth among supplier types, with a 77% increase in direct public sector revenue over four years
• Central Government + NHS Drive Investment: These two verticals showed the strongest spend growth
• Missed Frameworks = Missed Revenue: Suppliers lost out on £11.4 billion in public sector opportunities by not being listed on the right frameworks.
• The Public Sector Is Shifting from Custom to Configured: The dominance of resellers and modular platforms reflects a broader trend: buyers now favor scalable, low-friction tech over complex, bespoke implementations.

Trusted by Government, Built for What’s Next

8×8 has a strong history of providing services and expertise across the UK public sector, including Oldham Council, London Borough of Barking & Dagenham, and many more with a range of tools including The 8×8 Platform for CX and Ballot It, the election assistant tool.
