Introducing the GOV Reuse Library

The GOV Reuse Library is a new cross-government initiative designed to help teams work smarter, faster, and more collaboratively by reusing proven digital service components.

Developed by the Ministry of Justice, in partnership with the Government Digital Service and the Department for Education, the library aims to:

Enable reuse and reduce duplication by surfacing what already exists Increase transparency by making assets visible across departments Promote collaboration by encouraging cross-government sharing

Why we built the GOV Reuse Library

Every day, government teams solve similar problems in silos. What if we could break those silos and build smarter, faster, together?

This aligns with the government’s vision of a modern digital state that "joins up and acts as one public sector” and helps “strengthen and extend our digital public infrastructure”.

What you will find

The library makes it easier to discover reusable digital elements that can speed up delivery and improve consistency, such as:

Design systems Manuals and playbooks Digital products and tools Service patterns Standards and guidance

By sharing these resources openly, we aim to save time, cut costs, and deliver better services for users.
