Public sector · Harten Technologies
Public services rely on applications that have accumulated business rules, integrations and operational dependencies over many years. Harten helps teams understand those systems, recover the specifications needed to work on them and develop modernisation plans grounded in what the applications actually do.
We provide defined assessments, specialist consultancy and wider application-estate analysis. Harten is an appointed supplier on three UK public-sector purchasing agreements.
Discuss a public-sector requirementWhat we help you achieve
An application may depend on business logic spread across code, databases, scheduled processing and external services. Before changing or replacing it, teams need a reliable description of those dependencies, the behaviour that must be preserved and the areas requiring further investigation.
Analyse applications and their relationships to identify components, dependencies, interfaces, business behaviour and areas of uncertainty. Use the resulting information to prioritise where deeper investigation or change is needed.
Develop structured documentation and specifications from available application evidence. Make important findings traceable to their source, so architects, engineers and business owners can review them rather than accepting generated descriptions uncritically.
Assess candidate changes, technical constraints, sequencing and risks. Distinguish what the existing application demonstrates from assumptions about a proposed target architecture or delivery approach.
Investigate relevant dependencies, versions, deprecations and vulnerabilities in context. Identify which findings warrant confirmation and remediation planning rather than treating an automated alert as a complete risk assessment.
Use governed AI-assisted analysis to examine complex codebases and produce reviewable outputs. Human reviewers remain responsible for accepting specifications, architecture choices and changes to operational systems.
Work directly with public-sector organisations or alongside established delivery partners on discovery, technical assessment, application modernisation and related engineering decisions.

How to procure Harten
HARTEN TECHNOLOGIES LTD is an appointed supplier on the following Crown Commercial Service / Government Commercial Agency routes. Each appointment offers a potential route to engage Harten for work that fits the agreement. Buyers must check the agreement's current scope, terms and buying procedure against their requirement.
Low-value purchasing
Appointed supplier
For eligible lower-value, less complex requirements, including suitable IT services and support. Depending on the requirement and buying rules, a buyer may use the agreement's permitted direct-award or competition process.
Artificial intelligence
Appointed supplier
A procurement route for eligible AI-related services and solutions. A buyer should check that the proposed analysis, consultancy or software-intelligence work matches the relevant categories and competition requirements.
Innovation
Appointed supplier
A route for eligible technology-innovation requirements. Suitability depends on the specific procurement, relevant categories and the buyer's evaluation process.
Appointments mean that Harten is eligible to participate in applicable purchasing processes. They are not a government endorsement of Harten's products, a guarantee of work, or an exemption from the buyer's procurement obligations. The agreement links above provide the current rules and dates.
Delivery and assurance
Harten's approach distinguishes findings supported by application evidence from interpretations, proposed changes and unresolved questions. The assessment scope, access arrangements, review responsibilities and expected deliverables are agreed for each engagement. AI-assisted output requires appropriate human review before use in consequential engineering or operational decisions.
Information handling and technical access should be agreed before any source code, sensitive operational records or restricted materials are shared. Harten can provide applicable supplier, insurance and security information during buyer due diligence. A framework appointment does not itself establish a particular security certification or suitability for every data classification.

Engaging Harten
Tell us about the application or estate, the question you need answered and any known technical or delivery constraints. We can discuss a bounded assessment, a broader discovery or a specialist consultancy engagement, including the outputs, review points and commercial scope. Your commercial team can then confirm the appropriate purchasing route.
Harten can work directly with eligible public-sector buyers or as a specialist partner to an established supplier. The published Wayfinder assessment pricing provides a starting point for standard work; larger or unusual requirements are scoped separately.
