Why does local government IT have no margin for error?
Because the end client is the citizen. Front-desk services, certificates and administrative work depend on available systems; in a company, a fault reduces productivity, but in a parish council it halts public service live. With several buildings, the challenge is keeping the same quality in all of them.
The contractual answer was continuous oversight and support every day of the year, so that problems are solved in any building before they reach the counter.
