The Central Digital and Data Office was an agency[a] under the United Kingdom's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology which was responsible for coordinating digital, data, and technological programmes across the government, and setting standards in those areas.[1] In January 2025, the body was merged into the Government Digital Service.[2]
It was established in January 2021 under the Cabinet Office,[3] and was moved to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology by the incoming Labour government in 2024.[4] The CDDO shared an office with the Government Digital Service in London, and both organisations were guided by the Digital Advisory Board.
