GovPass
GovPass is more than a plastic card that gives access to a building, it's key to transforming how we use the government estate to enable greater interoperability.
GovPass is the single access pass in over 70 buildings across the estate, the majority of which are GPA owned and operated. Over 166,000 civil servants have been issued with a GovPass.
GovPass enables civil servants to work interoperably, giving them access to GovPass-enabled buildings when they need to work with other teams or departments, improving collaboration. Together with cross government interoperability leads we’re creating robust and consistent security standards and managing risk, delivery, architecture and encryption, plus training and guides to ensure only authorised collegues gain access to buildings.
